Craft

This craft was a Updated version of the 1st Upload, but with Interiors as requested. although it's not completely fully interior and it's not quite elegant but it's closer. and also it's still tricky to control with it's RCS gone crazy for some reason.

You can modify or advance this craft.

Thank you and Enjoy.
