I found that the original derpy Propeller engines were still in the game and decided to do an "Old School SP vs New School SP" mashup!
Using mostly old "block" fuselage and nose cones, changing their scale or sizing, except for the engine cowling... I had to make it glass to show off that really cool modeled V-engine! I jazzed it up a little with some VTOL open-exhaust headers (Seriously Jundroo, why is that in the game and NOT the actual "Engine" part's model?!? That model is great!)
Then, I brought in the new Cockpit parts to make it ultra awkward! :D
Oh and speaking of ":D", I threw in the Cool Emoji as a bonus, complete with functional head movement (based on your Pitch/Roll input).
Topped it all off with a vanilla Military paint job, but sacrificed the double part count so I could give it a classic WWII Air/Ground scheme. (Quite pleased how that turned out actually hahah)
ENjOY!

For anyone curious, the two old original engines are
Engine-Prop-2(used here) andEngine-Prop-1.They lack any ability to increase power despite their same-as-Jet XML entries.
As such, I cheated a bit... Since I needed to have a way to paint the engine cowl blue, I just used a second engine clipped inside, thus doubling the performance. :}
.
Seriously though, they are trash lol The only reason I did this was cuz that engine block in
Engine-Prop-2is great!
