Most model rockets blast off at a much higher acceleration rate than full size rockets. Is it possible to have model rockets take off slowly to more closely mimic the acceleration speed of full scale rockets?

I honestly don’t think model rockets accelerate faster than large ones. The space shuttle is going 100MPH by the time the tail passes the tip of the crane. Its all perspective. I mean, the initial acceleration of a model is faster, since its power to weight ratio is probably much higher, but the overall acceleration is no where near the same.
