If you want something that is OOP and out of stock, just use the instructions (which he's trying to figure out how to archive for free download), and order the parts (including decals) separately.

This is exactly the route Bruce and I were going to take. We were running out of space, as many of you know, "in house" meant exactly that. We had just about every room in our home plus the garage filled with rocket kits/parts. Carl and I had talked about doing this but he was reluctant, saying most people would rather buy the kit than individual parts. |
