“Our scale models allow kids and adults alike to bring a piece of space history into their lives. We take pride in being able to awaken the space enthusiast in our customers,” says Heidi Muckenthaler, Estes Vice President.

The SpaceX Falcon 9 will join a lineup of Estes Products that are scale models of rockets used throughout history.

“This is a chance to add the most iconic of modern rocketry to the company’s extensive collection of scale models,” says Bill Stine who was a part of the model’s development, “We worked hand in hand with the SpaceX engineers who designed the Falcon 9 to create the plans for this model.
