The Boyce Aerospace
Hobbies SpaceX Dragon nose cones are nice examples of 3D printing that brings your
SpaceX Falcon 9 Flying Model Rocket “up to date” by placing a scale-correct
Dragon Capsule atop of it.
These nose
cones are available as either the original Dragon Version 1 (cargo, only) or
the newer Dragon Version 2, or “Crew Dragon.” Version 2 capsules are also flown
as Cargo Dragons, which lack the eight “Super Draco” rocket thrusters, which could
be used for crew escape during a launch anomaly. The Cargo Dragon version uses
the weight savings to carry additional cargo.
Our decal set
uses artwork originally provided by Alfonzo Moreno of AXM Paper Space Models.
The details for
the Version 1 Dragon came from the AXM “CRS” paper model series of the Falcon 9 / Dragon 1 combination that flew
that the final SpaceX Commercial Re-Supply flight, using the original SpaceX
Dragon.
The detail for
the Crew Dragon (Ver. 2) came as part of the AXM “In-Flight Abort” paper model
of the Falcon 9 / Dragon 2 combination that flew that final SpaceX uncrewed test
flight.
Our goal was to
take a fundamentally well-made model product and bring it closer to a more realistic
appearance.
Please remember
that these Nose Cone Decal Sets are intended for use in upgrading your own
Boyce Dragon model rocket nose cones.
LCSP does not
sell the Boyce Aerospace Hobbies Dragon nose cones. Those must be ordered from
Boyce Aerospace Hobbies, directly.
