This retro rocket ship model was designed as a companion to the retro UFO, available here. This is a detailed model of a rocket ship blasting off, perfect for use as a desk display or toy. The model prints in two pieces so the smoke can be a different color than the rocket itself. The smoke part does not require supports, but the rocket does.
