Mostly-Unknown Replicas

[quasarrgames]

Hello!

I decided to make a small collection of replicas of lesser-known air and space craft. Normally i find replicas a little boring, but these replicas should be of planes and rockets that you may not have seen before, so that should make it more interesting. Hope you enjoy.

1- Shavit Rocket and Ofeq Satellite:

Spoiler

This was the first satellite launched to orbit by Israel's Space Agency, making Israel the eighth country to send something to space. The three-stage solidfuel rocket that launched it was developed with very little money or foreign knowhow as well. 

 

More (should) be coming soon

Hello! Back again with something new: The Avro Shackleton

It was a naval reconnaissance/bomber craft for the Royal Air Force up until the 90s. I think nobody likes it because of its "ugly" nose spotter cockpit, but it looks unique so i like it.

The nose actually looks pretty okay, but the fuselage is way too short, the tail fins don't look that similar to the real life counterpart, and it's not fitted with turboprop engines(you can make them in ksp)

nose spotter cockpit,

You should build a little cockpit there with a frame for the window so a Kerbal can sit in it!

I like both of these craft very much asthetically. 10/10

Sorry for the looong absence. I present to you the Avro Shackleton mk2!

Now with a longer fuselage, better tailfins, revised engines (with double propellers and jet engines!), and nose/tail spotter cockpits that kerbals can sit inside

Significantly heavier than the real one, but it has about the same top speed, due to a massive amount of thrust. Pretty fun to fly.

No worries! I love the look of it and seeing a kerbal in a custom cockpit always makes me feel all fuzzy inside! Nice work mate.
