I've been having camera issues lately, so I've just been using my cell phone. It's great for the B6-4 Field launches. Less great for the big fields, but I'm not ready to shop for cameras again.
That Egg Crate looks like it will hold a crate of eggs. It reminds me of something, but I can't quite put my finger on what.

It is an interesting bird. My impression is that it is the rocketry version of the aircraft ‘Super Guppy’ used to transport Saturn third stages and Apollo spacecraft primarily during the Apollo program.

LOL, yeah, I see where you're coming from.
However, I think the Super Guppy would look more like the Gooney version of the Egg Crate.

The builder may have had in mind a Centuri cluster engine version of the Enerjet 1340/20. I plan to build the complete original kit build and decorate a second long payload section with a different paint scheme and maybe add some combination of Semroc, Centuri & Enerjet decals to it just to do something different and to have an alternate way of flying it.

Maybe print a Super Guppy decal for it too!

The Enerjet 1340 with large payload and Enerjet Egg Crate are very similar.
Neither can fit a cluster of anything . Main BT is too small in diameter.
Those two kits have nothing in common with the Centuri Egg Crate.
