Semroc recently released a reproduction Farside-X, though of course if you have the fin patterns, it's pretty easy to clone.
I had one as a kid - it mostly flew on low impulse motors. I built a Farside for a classic model competition a few years ago. I've never had the nerve to go C-C-C on it. Typically B-B-A is what I've done.
