If you don't mind working in paper, you can find a good Falcon 9, both regular and heavy, in 1/100 scale at http://axmpaperspacescalemodels.com/index.php/falcon-9/

Somebody brought a couple of those to last month's IPMSOC meeting. They looked quite good! Here's a photo of them in the meeting pix; there are some more in there if you scan through the others.

Hey, I know some of those guys.  I'm with the IPMS Fresno chapter, just up the road from you.

 

Those Falcon's can also be used a patterns to create the model in plastic, if you don't want to work in paper.

If you're up for a little scratchbuilding:

I've designed some parts (e.g. engine section, Dragon capsule, landing legs) for 3D printing, these are available via Shapeways.

I started out in 1/144, in this scale the rocket body is a 1" tube (readily available in e.g. PVC in any DIY store). Then you need some styrene stock for the conduits.

Some other scales are available as well.
