Rocket Lab Electron

#1
Here's my Electron rocket loaded with 2 simple stations, I used the BP lag in both satellites so you should check 'em out...

I touched nothing but you can change stage-2 rocket, it's a bit slow at orbiting.
Write me cons and Version 2 will be on the way...

It looks good! I would maybe add a second stage (if there isn’t one there already) and add the correct amount of engines at the bottom. And if you really wanted to get picky with the details, reposition the silver lines to the correct spots on the first and second stage. Still a nice looking build none the less!

No there's no problem with orbiting except speed. And what should I do with the lines? I guess the positions are correct the just bottom one of the fairings and the second top from the main engine

Looking at it now, the positions are correct, you are just missing one located right above the interstage on top of the second stage engine.

You're right, I make it more realistic now. But the place where fairing and 2nd stage meets a width unequality happens and it makes rocket worse. Also It's impossible to make the satellite just like the real one (solar panel is black& measurements are not same) There's a smallsat in it "very,very small" so a change of satellite is still required

You could try adding fairings around the rest of the Rocket, but leave a small gap between the first and second stage so that they still separate and look flush.
