The velocity field of emitting gas observed within planetary nebula NGC 650-1 is used to derive a three-dimensional model of the nebula. Image tube spectra of several positions in NGC 650-1 are secured with an echelle spectrograph, covering the range of 6000-7000 A, with a mean dispersion of 16 A/mm. A bright rectangular area consists of an elliptical ring with an external radius of 38 + or - 3 arcsec, and a thickness of 12 + or - 3 arcsec, which is expanding at a maximum velocity of 42 + or - 2 km/s in forbidden N II. The outer, less dense envelope consists of two partial half-shells centered on the exciting star, and the projected radial velocity of the external shells suggests that they are expanding at a higher velocity than the central part.
