Here's my 1:100 scale Delta II 7000 series model.

"Delta II was an expendable launch system, originally designed and built by McDonnell Douglas. Delta II was part of the Delta rocket family and entered service in 1989. Delta II vehicles included the Delta 6000, and the two later Delta 7000 variants ("Light" and "Heavy"). The rocket flew its final mission ICESat-2 on 15 September 2018, earning the launch vehicle a streak of 100 successful missions in a row, with the last failure being GPS IIR-1 in 1997."

It's printed in segments by color so that it can be printed in the correct colors or easily painted after printing.

While I printed this with the 9.5ft fairing to match the MER-A Spirit rover launch, the part files include alternate fairings and upper tank segment to accurately reproduce 10 and 10L rocket variants. 

I have successfully printed this model at 1:110 to match my Lego Saturn V model, so I am confident it can be printed at any scale larger than that. The side mounting pins may become too small at smaller scales, but the GEM 40 boosters could just as easily be glued directly to the mounting points on the sides of the tank.

I hope you enjoy this model.
Let me know what you think and be sure to share any makes.
