DFT-CLS 0-5T 'Kobold' (A3) - Budget Lifters

[TimePeriod]

Hello everybody!

TP here with a little lifter I spent a few hours on. It does away with all aesthetics, very low part count and a very affordable price tag.

These crafts will tickle in here on the Exchange in a slow rate and will be part of a larger collection of budget-lifters built by yours truly.

First in the line of crafts I have in mind is the small rocket named 'Kobold'. I will be using the names from the "Dungeons and Dragons"-lore for the rockets.
