I got a bit tired of the shuttle, I may come back to it later. However, I had a stroke of sleep-derived genius and decided to put a stripped-down shuttle on my Energia for Buran testing. My god, it flew! Well, for a bit. Proof that glorious Soviet engineering > American scum spacecraft :P

Unable to post pictures because of crappy phone interface, but the Sopwith Pup is finally finished. I thought I would go ahead and announce it here since I posted WIP pictures of it a while back.

You can see it here: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/120106-Sopwith-Pup-The-Camel-s-Little-Brother

Hopefully this isn't considered off topic.

So I was working on my fighter and was reminded of my first exchange submission which was also a fighter. It had flares and remembering that made me think...

Seperatrons kick in and overheat the docking port.

They then fly up and begin to spin on the spot.

So much for the manoeuvrability issues...

WIP (finished atm i just need to upload this beast)

Totally new YF-12A 133 parts (about 90 less than the older) smaller (5 meters shorter) lighter, and more manouverable.

As always a 100% proportions replica

My N1 worked perfectly for 3000 meters, then 5 engines shut down, the craft spontaneously exploded, and my game crashed.

It was supposed to be a replica, but not that accurate!

She look amazing! There's is quite a lot of z fighting on those wings though..

Yeah i know, but you wont notice that when flying, it's just a builder glitch, and second i am such a perfectionist (or crazy :D) that i don't want to offset the wings to make less "z fight", not linear shaped wings makes me mad, but also makes me so good at replicating... :P

I could use smaller wings and create less glitching but then the part count will be surely highest.

I see, as long as they don't draw you eye to them then it's fine.

Well the plane is ready for release.. just wait 15 min =) It is a joy to fly, so much manouverable. I can assure you this is by far the best replica i have done, and probably the best of the forum (only planes), but it can be a soggetive opinion though :)

Fuselage is complete, but the centre of gravity is too forward, gotta try to fix it...

Edit: All done except for rudder, flight testing shows very serious performance issues though...

Methinks you need to rework the body, it looks very hunchback...
