Both models are loaded with detail inside and out! The UE-1 comes with textures for both military and civilian, tilting rotor blades and mast, working doors, rocket pods and movable guns.
The Blue Sky Biplane is a representation of the aircraft used to train many U.S. pilots during WWII. Army Air corp. and Navy marking are provided. Look for them soon!

Oh, there goes my money...
You are starting to become the premier PA for military-related vehicles. Won't even hazard a guess at how many colour schemes you must be including for the Huey! Must have seen them sporting just about everything over the years, from black, green and navy grey, right up to desert camo and all sorts of other stuff.
:)
I didn't do a black one for the UE but you can dial down the color to get it. Green, White\Gray and a few civil utility colors will be included. The biplane has a few colors also. I do have to say that the white texture set is actually based on a real PT-17 that is local to me and out flying today. You may see it flying at a few U.S airshows. :)
I think we are all trying to add some new vehicle sets to the store. To do modern day models it's a bit tough not crossing the line. This is as close as I dare to go.
Awesome! I have a 44" wingspan PT-17 (electric powered) sitting on my shelf just waiting to be built! This gives me the kick in the butt I needed to get that thing on the workbench and in the air! :cheese:
Well, there are already Bradleys, M-1 tanks, Black Hawks and a Cobra in the store. Can't see any reason why, say, an F-15 or Apache wouldn't be allowed, too (or relative Soviet/Chinese designs).
Or even something which is a unique hybrid between several different things... The Rockwell HiMAT would be an awesome model to see in store, but there's no reason someone couldn't cross, say, the HiMAT and X-29. Or a Harrier and blade-less Apache (a combination of which might make an excellent futuristic-looking gunship, if given one or more slew-able gun turrets). All sorts of crazy experimental hybrid concepts!
Definitely need to see more UFO-based craft for sci-fi, too... Flying discs, triangles and cigar shapes (with the classic port-holes along sides).
These look great, regardless! :) Lots of artistic inspiration from even modern films for the biplane; 'Independence Day', 'Pearl Harbour' and so on. Plus, maybe a way to stand a human figure on top of the wings, like those old 'flying circuses' used to do for the air shows.
