I think it's a reasonable functional replica, but the dimensions are better suited to 3.75m and the engine configuration looks like this, still kudos, I built something similar and it takes a bit of tweaking to get right. (image)

Odd... Did you type "run land." into the terminal window too late? You must enter it before the ship reaches below 15km.

Either that or your kOS version has not been updated?
