I ran across this website a few months ago - it's sort of a French Thingiverse. Pretty nice site overall, and it contains some rocketry models, in particular, several scale models by a contributor named THEAMPHIOXUS.
They aren't flying models, and would probably be difficult to convert, but they are good-looking nonetheless. He's currently got a Mercury-Redstone, Atlas-Agena, Mercury-Atlas, Gemini-Titan, Apollo-Saturn 1b ($20), Apollo-Saturn V ($6 each for four parts), and a Soyuz FG ($15). They all use the method of splitting the prints by color, so if you have the right color filaments, no painting is necessary. They all appear to be engineered quite nicely, and all are in 1/60 scale.
I've looked at the Mercury-Redstone closely, and found the following:
Since the Redstone is free, I've taken the liberty of putting the Mercury-Redstone, with translated filenames and instructions in my dropbox folder here. Google translation only, so don't expect much.
Some other notes:

I've looked at the Mercury-Redstone closely, and found the following:
- No supports are necessary.
- 64 parts.
- Fairly good printing instructions.
- Photographs that should make the assembly pretty easy.
- The filenames are in French - it helps to translate them.
- The .zip contains several '.stl' files that are apparently garbage - they look like some leftover error files. There are the correct number of parts without them, so I think they can be safely ignored.

Some other notes:
- The larger models have assembly videos; silent, so the language isn't a problem.
- The gantry included with the Soyuz is really neet.
- Stages can be separated, and the models include some internal detailing.
