I wound up buying the single stage kit instead. Apogee has a plan pack for a smaller Nike Hercules, 4 engine mini motor cluster with option to build as a single or two stage model. Fin and transitions templates included, as well as a parts list and informal instructions. Almost as good as a pre-packaged kit:

As mentioned by others, finding a kit would be difficult, and even then it might sell at a collector's price. Good luck.

Forgot about this one. I ordered something from them years ago and got this by mistake. When I told them about it they sent what I ordered and told me to keep the Nike Herc stuff.
