A Legend Returns | 1:1 Lockheed Super Constellation in Stock KSP

[HB Stratos]

Yes, you heared right, I have made a fully stock - that means no DLC - version of the famous Lockeed L1049 Super Constellation complete with stock Props and build in 1:1 scale. All this with a farly moderate partcount of 628, well, moderate for that scale of plane. Dowload link: https://kerbalx.com/HB_Stratos/Lockheed-L-1049-Super-Constellation
I liked the plane so much I´ve made a whole cinematic dedicated to this plane. If you skipped over it, please watch the Video above, It was a lot of work but truly worth it.

Congratulations on earning Thread of the Month!

Wow, just wow!  Those are the best looking stock propellers I have seen and the whole plane is just amazing. Congratulations. I saw a few comments on KerbalX about it being the best replica out there, and I think I have to agree.

 

BTW: Where did the cool runway barriers and radar tower come from?

[HB Stratos]

Hey @Klapaucius, thanks a lot! The runway and everything else static comes from the kerbin side remastered mod, requires KerbalKonstructs.

How did you do that?

I want to know how many hours it took you, even if it took you days.

It is so accurate.

it took a long time to do, here are some pics of the build process:
(mainly it was just my experience with building replicas and an obsession with this plane)
 

Spoiler

The fuselages are used for measuring to get perfectly accurate dimensions.
