100% Flags - Gruman F3-F

[AVeryNiceSpacePenguin]

Ever since the introduction of flags (and flag parts) to KSP,  I was quite weary of using them in my builds. It wasn't until I first used them that I recognized the power and versatility of flag parts to create not only accurate shapes, but also accurate colors and textures. This F3-F replica represents my most flag-intensive replica yet, taking advantage not only of the many ways you can use flags to create complex body shapes, but also adding the  equivalent of adding your own "textures" to KSP

4 months ago, I began working on an F3-F replica, with accurate colors and such. Unfortunately, it couldn't do much of anything. It could hard;y take-off, given that I had made the entire plane out of the only grey-ish part in the game - Oscar B tanks. So I left that project behind. However, since the introduction of ultra-light flag parts, I could make accurate replicas not only in shape but in color, and without packing much weight at all. At only 9 tons, it's considerably lighter than my previous attempt - 38 tons. This also allows it to feature something special:

The landing gear on this replica is fully functioning, almost like it does in real life. Thanks to the lightweight construction of the replica, the custom gear is capable of carrying the entire weight of the craft
