Going by the scaling of the parts this mod adds, what would the diameter for a Scud be?

The standard scaling of KSP parts is 0.625 real scale, so if we go by the Wikipedia diameter of 0.88m IRL that'd come out to 0.55m.
Since that's not a standard KSP diameter, the closest available is 0.625m. So there you go!

Is that a Tantares Battery pack flying off above the clamp with a seperator-SRB? o.o The actual satellite looks great!

Just updated and I'm getting the following error:

I'm guessing it could be from intercolor?

Man, I've been trying to convert an LK-700 into a Duna lander, but this one's definitely better.

For Spike88...  I had the same issue B9PartSwitch error and somewhat stumbled upon a solution that worked for me.  I though there may have been some kind of error while upgrading this mod with CKAN so I decided to uninstall Tantares - Soviet Spacecraft and reinstall it.  When I started the uninstall CKAN also removed what was apparently a recolor dependency.   After the Tantares - Soviet Spacecraft reinstall I didn't get the error.  Maybe this will work the same for you.

I just copied the texture from an older version of Tantares and slapped it in there.

Is this too much? First time im making blueprint style pics. I love going my own way and building stuff like this. I felt like i had to show this off here. And i really hope the Russian Cyrillic text makes sense, at least the Gemini AI thought so.

Mods used: latest tantares release, universal storage 2 , docking ports from restock and  "extra docking ports" and the "albatross koyuz mkIV" has the engines from the 

mod

This is amazing. I did something like this a long time ago, but you put WAY more thought into it than I ever did. 10/10!

Thanks! its a work of love...im very grateful that tantares exists cause with the american styled stock and mods i was a bit bored and couldnt do something...weird and unique. Contares was interesting but i like tantares more and it seems for the 10 years that i havent touched ksp all other soviet mods just didnt survive in a good state. And tantares is here and still being awesome! Im also in love with universal storage 2 ... lol most of what ive been doing since i stabilized my modded ksp is just making things in vab...i do a few launches but mostly just build stuff in vab.

Hello, i have encountered an error when attempting to load the n1-l3, when i attempt to load it it states that its missing parts, despite it being a sandbox save, im unaware of how to share screenshots so ill try and transcribe it here,  the first error states  "Are you sure you want to continue? the vessel has the following problems: Vessel [N1-L3] is missing part tantares.decoupler.s1.1". Once i click the "ok" button it states as follows: "Craft loading error, craft [N1-L3] was not loaded because it had the following parts missing: tantares.decoupler.s1.1, tantares.heatshield.s1.1, tantares.parachute.s0.1" Im unsure of whats causing these errors.-Thank you in advance, and sorry if this post(reply? comment?) is a bit bad, im a bit new here.

Are the old Pirs parts deprecated? The GitHub warning only says "some parts" and I don't know if that's a carryover from v27 or not.

I'm gonna have to go through a lot of saved builds and spacecraft currently in flight...

I just uninstalled intercolor and the issue went away.

The MPK Engine bays aren't showing up in the VAB for me.
