As the title says. :)

Some may look awkward, but the most important is its nearness to the original, without the use of dedicated parts packs. :D

ICBM replicas are considered. You can also share yours :D

Delta IV Medium. It\'s basically Delta IV, with six strap-on solids (so it\'s like 2 models in 1 :D) Flies well.

Delta IV Heavy. Oh god...

Can\'t attain flight yet due to

.

Delta IV (and probably the Heavy one also) would need a Gantry Launch System due to some launchpad stability issues.

you should use radial decouplers & struts, it\'ll fix that issue.

Well, at least for me it worked, with help of radial decouplers & struts i can attach huge SRBs or just Liquid fuel tanks to the sides of my rocket without any trouble

SRBs don\'t pose any problem at all -- LFEs do.

Look closely at the picture-he has radial decouplers and struts.

there\'s just not enough struts, let me show you how they should be placed. Oh, and you should also place some lander legs, for more stability.

So, they should be placed like this:

I haven\'t tried to re-create and test it yet, but i have a couple of similar rockets, and this system always works well. At least my rockets don\'t fall apart on the launchpad.

Interesting thread. I had a few contributions in earlier versions ( notably Ares-1 and Gemini-titan ) - I currently have a Delta II version with 6 boosters. Working on releasing my own parts now, I want to make a better Delta IV and Atlas V with parts balanced with stock, as well as the boosters for them.

Imma go try and use what I can to make that thing fly.

Anyways,

New addition: Long March 2E

What boosters do you use?

I\'ve made a nice small rocket that is capable of landing on mun and orbiting it. I present to you Insect-class rocket, Luxury Slug I.

Well, after kerz of tries to land on the mun, i\'ve finally managed to do it with this nice little fancy rocket. No .cfg files were editied in progress of building it.

Nice rocket, but is that your original or replica of a real-life rocket?

Back on topic, here\'s another one.

Ares V

Looks like SLS ??? I guess I\'ve overestimated this one :-[

Well, that\'s my original rocket, i tried to make something small that could get into orbit without big fuel consumption. Well, it hasn\'t just get into kerbin orbit, but landed on the mun... I was really impressed.

Sorry for posting this rocket in the wrong topic...

So, here\'s my replica to R-7 8K72 'Vostok' rocket. Works great in KSP.

The biggest disadvantage of this rocket, that SAS can\'t fully take care of controlling the rocket. But soviet russia don\'t need no got damn SAS modules! You have to control rocket with RCS during first stage all the time.

You can check how original looks in Attachments.

So, i\'m proud to present the Dnepr-1 replica(One meter smaller in diameter than original) rocket!It was named after the Dnepr River in Ukraine(by the way i\'m Ukranian, and i live in Dnepropetrovsk, and this rocket was actually built in Dnepropetrovsk.)Dnepr-1 rocket was designed for lifting small payloads into Circular and elliptical orbits of the earth.

Here\'re some pics:

And as a bonus, here\'s one hilarious screenshot, this thing has never happened to me before:

I must be missing a part in this pack, there\'s nothing I have that allows the adapter shroud to align with the 3x12 meter fuel tank. Which is annoying since I want to fly this and tried making a similar design.

Edit: Wait that\'s not even a Challenger Pack fuel tank is it?
