A 1:70 scale model of the Falcon 1 Flight 4 vehicle, featuring the RatSat dummy payload SpaceX's first successful mission. The model stands 32 cm tall.

Hello friends!
After reading Liftoff by Eric Berger, I was completely inspired by the incredible story of SpaceX’s early days, especially the focus on the Falcon 1. The book highlights the challenges and triumphs that shaped SpaceX into what it is today.

I wanted to 3D print a model of the Falcon 1 but couldn't find a suitable one online, so I decided to take matters into my own hands and create it myself. Here it is the rocket that marked the beginning of the private space sector and became one of the most important launch vehicles of the century.

Assembling the model is pretty straightforward. All you'll need is some CA glue, and optionally, a bit of silver paint for detailing. Simply follow the layout shown in the image below to attach the pieces. Just be careful not to accidentally glue the two stages or fairings together they are designed to press-fit! :)
