About as close as I could get to the real thing, while it has a ridiculous ceiling, it requires sensible flying, you can't just jam the w/s key and expect everything to be fine. A bit heavy on the part count, and it has a few support struts holding it together, I may post a more refined version in the future.

Specifications:

Cruising Altitude: 30,000-32,000m

Max Cruising Altitude:38,000m

Max Cruising Speed:2,080-2,320m/s

Maximum Speed:2,480m/s

Capable of sub-orbital hops with an apoapsis averaging 136km.

Pics make it difficult to actually see it. However, it looks as though you got the shape right.

Ooh, pretty fire. I want to tou--OW, FIRE HOT! HOT FIRE. FIRE BAD.

Well done, may I suggest clipping the turbojets inside of each other instead of mounting them horizontally?

[Turbosheild]

I had have them side-by-side due to how I attached the air intakes to each other, was the only was to do it for how I set up the nacelles.

Nice build! Amazing how you were able to make it preform similarly to the real thing, nice engine nacelles.
