SR-71 Blackbird

SR-71 Blackbird V1.0 (SP+ Stock Parts)

Today I built this SR-71 with the new SP+ parts added in 0.25, which fit perfectly for this amazing stealth aircraft.

I tried to get as close to the original as I could but there is one major difference. It has a total of 3 engines, 2x Jet and 1x Aerospike Rocket.

I needed some weight in the back and it looks pretty cool I think, it now serves as an afterburner.

Let me know what you think of the design and try it out yourself

Note: This is NOT meant to be a spaceplane but of course you can upgrade it on your own. It's not working properly with FAR from what I've seen.
