I guess I do have a few.

A very light in parts (230!) Apollo replica, Project Phoebus:

Chibi-Shuttle, the Kerbal Transportation System. Part count is too small to care (75, if you do). Look at those segmented SRB's, shame I didn't manage to fit the four I started with:

And the last one, a N1-L3 that I think is spot on aesthetically. A bit more parts than usual, but it is also not unusable at 400 on the pad (when you drop the first stage, you drop >150 parts).

P-80 Shooting Star

Designed for FAR, and deliberately made to not be overpowered. It is the first practical jet in my Kerbal career mod timeline. I still haven't even orbited Kerbin, instead focusing on the origins of the Kerbal Space Program.

That's a very nice P-80. I love the exhaust in the tail. Sorry for being a bit too picky but just pointing out that it doesn't carry machine guns on the wings but 8x50cals in the nose.

Yeah, it has nose guns too. Sadly, I could only fit 4 on the nose without getting really ugly clipping issues, so I had to divert from realism a bit.

A lot of perfect replicas... It's ironic. I love aircraft, specially the propeller ones of WWII but I never built one in KSP. Mostly because the action is out there on other planets. I don't like staying on Kerbin.

I challenge anyone to build this weird guy, FW-189

Stock YF-12A replica

Let me introduce you the YF-12A, it was a prototype based on the platform of the A-12 (the base of the sr 71 too).

It was build to be the faster interceptor ever made, armed with 3 missiles, due to the modification of the nose for radar sistems the aerodinamic was changed, so it was necessary put fins under engines and under the tail. It was faster than sr 71, with at least 100km/h more, for a total maximum speed of 3700km/h.

My replica tryes to reproduce this plane better possiblem not only in design but also in performance, so my replica goes to a maximum speed of about 3800km/h and reach a max altitude of 24000m.

This is my craft painted in black and white with kerbpaint like i have seen in this image:

Really cool!

Well, it looks kinda good. I like how you reduced the part count on the spaceshuttle, most people build massive shuttles!

P-80? Cool! How did you make the exhaust at the back? Made of fins?

Finally finished my newest project, I went with something quite nice looking:

Your P-80 is awesome too! Although I can't really see what the last plane is, is it the P-80 again? Or the F9F Panther?

I love the Skyrocket! ;)

Well... You tried! I mean, it's a very nice replica aircraft, but could probably have been done a little bit better. But nice!

Awesome! Is it stock? (Also, the ejection system isn't needed... LET YOUR KERBAL DIE FOR HIS MISTAKE OF SIGNING ON TO BE AN ASTRONAUT!!!)

Awesome crafts, guys! I'd love to see more! Mr. Pneusodym, over to you! ;)

ok download added on the craft post. :)

Keep in mind it's intended to be a replica in every aspects, so it go fast like the original, dont expect 2000m/s or 30k altitude XD. Have fun and let me know if u like it or if there are bugs!

I posted this a while ago for .22, but as it's own post, didn't get much attention. I'm really proud of this thing, and wanted others to love it.

I present, Kerbin Galactic's commercial craft, White Knight Two, and Spaceship Two:

This was before the tweakables, so I had to use FAR to tweak the control surfaces correctly. I might just have to go in there and update it to the current version!

No, I just chose the wrong place to land....which was on the face of a mountain :(

It certainly can land, but I just wanted to show that it is...difficult, since you're on an unpowered glide from orbital heights.
