This set was the first to include full color printed designs. All eight airplanes were replicas of real U.S. airplanes from the 20th century, spanning from the 1903 Wright Flyer to the 1986 F/A-18 Hornet. It included 4 modified designs from the core series and 4 new designs. Five of them were constructed from all paper and three used balsa wood fuselages. All eight designs had pre-cut paper pieces, so construction could proceed quickly.
