@BigMacDaddy tossed this carrot in front of me HERE.

This one is a 3" dia. custom build. 18mm or 24mm powered, rear eject spool and a chute or streamer.

Imagine this as a 12" foam build, cluster powered.

And dare I say the same approach could be made in making a working model rocket of the Space X version, with a 4 cluster configuration.

How about a T-70H based version that is a 2 stager? To get the needed stability I used the legs as fins, with inserts made from Lexan (I'm not a fan of plastic fake fins).

This would be an awesome visual since it stages at about 135 feet.
