Mk1 Cargo Bay

[Alshain]

Are there any part mods that add cargo bays for Mk1 plane parts? Preferably stock alike.

I just need something to put batteries and small science stuff in, mostly for aesthetic reasons... most of the stuff I would put in it is physics-less.

WolfPackAeronautics made one but its old.

EDIT- There is 6S Service Compartment Tubes http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/61040-0-23-6S-Service-Compartment-Tubes-Design-smooth

Thanks, that's not really stock alike though. Plus it's very outdated.

B9 Aerospace has one, I use it to contain my SCANsat parts

Mk1? in B9?

EDIT: Nah, even if it is Mk1, picking it out of the B9 pack knowing what of the dozen dependencies that one part requires isn't worth it. I'm really looking for a stand alone part that I can put on a Mk1 plane and looks the part. I don't think one exists, I was hoping a talented modeler might be interested in creating one.

There will be one in 1.0

That isn't a cargo bay (despite what the post said). It's a service compartment, and it would look really bad on a plane.

I don't know how to make it more clear. I'm looking for something that looks just like the Mk1 fuselage, but is a cargo bay. Similar to the way the Mk2 Cargo Bay looks just like the Mk2 Fuselage/Tanks.

Done. Mk 1 cargo bay ...

Thank you! It's doesn't mesh as well with the stock fuselage as I'd like but it's definitely the best I've seen, so in lieu of a better option coming forward, I will take it. Have some rep!

P.S. I do like the elevator doors, rather than the hinged doors.

EDIT: Except there are no attachment nodes on the front and back for the small stack batteries or monoprop tanks, like the stock ones have. The stock cargo bays I think have 2 attachment nodes almost on top of each other. One to attach a fuselage piece from the outside, and another to attach cargo on the inside as shown below.

ok, I've pushed v 1.01 with added secondary attach nodes... It can be awkward to use them because surface attach is enabled, but you can toggle that off if you use Editor Extensions

[Mecripp]

Thats why there was base rings.

Just, FYI, I believe you can also hold down alt to disable surface attach.

Well, damn. 0.25 came out during a period I wasn't playing KSP, so I guess I missed the memo on a few features that were added. Thanks

[Alshain]

Thank you. I'd give more rep if I could!

Modular Rockets System by Necrobones has a Mk1/1.25m Cargo bay as well as 2.5m cargobays

I took a look, they are beautiful parts but they look like they were designed to match the rocket tanks, not the plane tanks. Still them might prove useful for SSTO designs.

Nice bay...

I'm thinking I could squeeze a satellite into there, too. Cool.

I stand corrected, I attributed those to B9 earlier in the thread
