[Showcase] Replica Craft thread!

[Mareczex333]

My second F-22. This time I have used mods.

Mods used:

B9 Aerospace pack http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/0-20-2-b9-aerospace-pack-r3-1

Procedural Dynamics - Procedural Wing 0.5 http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/showthread.php/29862-0-21-Procedural-Dynamics-Procedural-Wing-0-5

*Note: It's my first modded craft, so if you see any other mods there, then tell me.

I must be late for the PAK FA party.

When you arrive with such style as a Pugachev's cobra, you are never late

[Tankbuster32]

reminds me of some 'Murica-ish documentary that said that a pugachev's cobra was a valid combat manuever with an enemy plane on your tail (which definately had a cannon)

[esinohio]

Not sure this belongs here but this is my stab at a stock replica of the Gun Star from The Last Starfighter. Corny I know but I was bored. I slapped a generic launcher under it and gave it enough deltaV to make a nice trip to the mun. Added a Sr. docking ring so you can add your own drive to push it just about anywhere you need Jeb pointing a RTG menacingly at you from under his cockpit.

Giggleplex, I will have my revenge! Time for a huge craft dump. By the way, my Su-33 can perform a kulbit. That's a full cobra maneuver, by the way.

Introducing, the FIRE FERRETS.. Er, I mean the Sr-71 Blackbird! Enjoy the details and fuel capacity while knowing that with the right pilot, this plane can easily circumnavigate Kerbin and get back to Kerbin's main KSC.

The MD-21 has been successfully tested for the first time, although with some minor scratches and a very close series of accidents involved, but we have determined the first MD-21 is up for release. After release, set the probe core to control here.

Block 2 of the Rim-8 Talos is now released! Press 1 before launch to extend the antennas!

Fun fact : The Rim-8 Talos was actually about the size of a fighter jet.

And my avatar tav ssto drop ship is under development by the skunk works division consisting of just me.

In space, it performs very well, but trying to even get it into the air is proving to be an extreme challenge.

Note the large cargo compartments :

With my Su-33, I performed a Kulbit! Take that Giggleplex777!

Now, here's my Su-33

That's cute.

Talk about one-upping someone, Giggle!

He asked for it.

Here's another full Kulbit:

Well, your craft is much lighter than mine and is powered by turbojets, both of which I have to say are unrealistic. I'm going to say that my plane, the Su-33 did the maneuver out of level flight, and I just wanted it to look and be as realistic as possible, including the use of turbofan engines and making it very heavy just like the real Pak-fa. Your jet would therefore be more of a performance oriented jet, while I am pretty obsessive for details of realism and having really large planes. Be warned, I'm going to make a special replica for a very maneuverable plane soon. (This'll be a fun showcase.).

[Mr. Pseudonym]

Gentlemen, this is a showcase, not a duck measuring contest. If you want that, take it somewhere else

It's powered by a combination of Basic jets and Turbojets, to make it more afterburning-turbofan-like. The jet weighs more than it looks.

[andrew123]

Yeah, but the jet is more back heavy, making it more maneuverable. Let's just both stop from turning this forum thread into another fighting thread. I just tried to make a show of humor, and I'm sorry if it pissed you off. Deal?

I didn't get pissed off, I just try to one-up anyone who tries to one-up me. It's a bad habit, but I can't help it. But for the record, it's actually pretty front heavy when loaded and requires hidden lifting surfaces to keep the nose up.

[SDIR]

Wait, how did this go from being a showcase to a "Who can make a better Russian fighter" competition?

It just did. Now, please stay ON TOPIC

[spectrhz]

In .20 I made a stock replica of JAXA's Selene Kaguya lunar orbiter.

[Ganymede]

The fighter jets are getting a bit too Russian for me...

F/A-18 incoming.

Cause if NASA can have 'em, so can we.

I made a SpaceX Grasshopper replica today. For those of you who haven't heard of it, it's an early design of reusable booster stage. Here's

in action in some cool tests. Anyway, it's not 100% accurate because of some part limitations, and is not particularly functional (it works fairly well for small payloads, and has low part count, but it has rather low TWR so larger payloads don't even get off the ground) but I think the basic idea is there. All the steering was done manually, which has probably halved my F9 key's lifespan, but I didn't want Mechjeb to do it all for me. Actually, taking all the screenshots probably took longer than designing and balancing the craft itself.

This is a maneuverability test similar to the video linked above:

My Jool A-2 and my Harrier 9 in the Zwei Bruder family link in my sig were based off really life. Both can do space easily. It also comes with the Flying Lizard cargo capsule, too.

Speaking of grasshopper replicas! I made a stock one to see if it could be done, mine was more designed to look like the real thing so it will take an efficient payload to get into orbit, but it works none the less.

Sucess!

Too bad you cant have two things in atmo more than 2.5km apart otherwise this would be quite a fun little launcher for micro sats.

[Umlüx]

Romfarer's buran manipulators (http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/robotic-arms-pack/) actually allows for this! I've used it with my airlaunched/airdropped designs - just make sure both parts have at least a probe body for control, or else they will be "debris" and despawn.

Wait, how did this go from being a showcase to a "Who can make a better Russian fighter" competition?

lol because I have the best russian fighter of them all... MIG 15.
