2. Buy an original from Ebay, one pops up every once in a while. Since this is a vintage, classic kit, it will probably command collector's prices.

3. Download the original plans and build a clone. Plans are here:

Standard components, like tubes, nose cones,etc. can be found at vendors like erockets. A complex rocket like this, however, might challenge your modeling skills, especially the non-standard parts which you cannot buy and will have to make. BTW erockets sells the laser cut fins for the kit here:

4. There is a vendor called Morerockets that sells kitted clones of classic model rockets. I have not purchased from this vendor, so cannot vouch one way or the other :

Have I mentioned how much I love this forum after only one post? Thank you!
