Delta II Heavy with GRAIL probes

[SaturnianBlue]

I've been working on other projects, which has distracted me from the Delta II Heavy replica with GRAIL (Munar Probes replica) stowed versions.

However, I have come and worked around game bugs that have been associated with the craft. I have made the fairings as accurate as possible. This craft is 100% scale to real life (about). It has better detail than my first Delta II's (GPS carrying 6925, and 6925-8 comsat carrier) and it is an 7920H-10 (GEM boosters, 9 of them, with a 2nd stage, and no 3 third stage, Heavy Version Booster, 10 foot fairings diameter.) The Delta II Heavy no longer flies today, but has advanced planetary science and astrophysics (Such as MER Opportunity, MESSENGER, Dawn, Spitzer, GLAST, GRAIL, etc.)

I have included a Cryogenic vent port for fashion, (The real rocket contains such) and Is activated with 1. I have been able to make a better interstage, and I have thrust taper on my GEM-46 rendition. With the Grail Probes, I have no hinges for the spacecraft, but you can likely build them with infernal Robotics.

If you have a subassembly space probe, or have flown it, feel free to post what you would like, and have fun!

Cool idea making full size replicas(I just saw your New Horizons and it looks really cool)- you should try and convert them to Realism Overhaul.

[SaturnianBlue]

I feel as it that is a good idea, to convert to RO, but my rocket frequently is overweight (not necceasarily, but dry weight is what gets me, and my New horizons ended up weighing 150 kg more than IRL.)and I don't want to raise performance by decreasing detail.

RO decreases dry mass and improves isp, the stock game is very unrealistic

Quite true, I've heard, but I feel using stock scales makes things more accessible to more people.
