Light this candle: SpaceX taking orders for Starship model with rocket engine torch

As test flights begin with what is now the world's most powerful rocket ever built, you can now "light" or "land" your own Starship.

SpaceX on Monday (April 17) debuted two new scale models of its stainless steel spacecraft as the company's engineers were attempting the first fully-integrated launch of Starship with its Super Heavy booster (the flight was postponed due a valve issue). One of models is a static desktop display, while the other stops just short of having a functional rocket engine.

Would anyone know a source for the drawing on the Starship model box SpaceX is offering?

My guess is that SpaceX created it for the model's packaging.

The company provided Estes with similar graphics to use on the box for the Falcon 9 flying rocket model.

Due to popular demand, SpaceX is again taking orders for its sold out Starship torch ($175) and chrome Starship model ($300) with shipping planned for the second quarter of 2024.

They are now also offering a Super Heavy chrome model ($499) as an add-on to the Starship. The two models when fit together will stand 18.75 inches tall.

SpaceX is now offering a hotstage and Super Heavy booster upgrade kit.
If you previously purchased a Super Heavy Chrome Model, the hotstage will attach.
  • Hotstage - magnetic attachment to top of booster
  • Chines - adhesive attachment to booster body
