Most of the aircraft available show signs of video game ripped models. After a quick Google search, we found that most of the models used in VORTEX's products came from a collection of free downloadable mesh, which included video games models as well. Here is a list of the products that we've uncovered to be in breach of Intellectual Property rights.
The product: VORTEX P-51
The source: P-51 Mustang 3d model from TF3dM.com

The only object that doesn't match the rest of the aircraft is the Propeller cone. Otherwise, texture quality and marking positions are an exact match.
The source2: F-117A Nighthawk 3d model from TF3dM.com, Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X
(Top) VORTEX F- 117A (Bottom) TF3dM F-117A
This is pretty much an exact copy. The odd shades of purple in the texture match up exactly in the same place. These textures have been compressed with a restricted color pallet, and the TF3dM uploader admits to have ripped this model from Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X, which was produced by Ubisoft. The creator could end up in a lot of trouble if a DMCA filed against them by Ubisoft for this aircraft.
The product: VORTEX F-15C Eagle

(Top) VORTEX F- 15C (Bottom) H.A.W.X F-15C
Despite this aircraft displaying a user-made skin, some of the markings in both of these F-15C's textures are in the same spot. This indicates that the original H.A.W.X texture was just painted over.
There is also no topology smoothing on the VORTEX model. The image highlights roughly where the VORTEX's model topology lays in comparison to the H.A.W.X model. You'll see that the topology of the aircraft's Nose is a convincing match.
