If no one here has a set they can part with, your next best bet is Ebay. They don't come up often, but occasionally you see a lot of old kit instructions.

While we do have some collectors here, most of us are builders. Since locating original kits is difficult (or just plain expensive) we tend to build clones (near-identical copies), so those links Sandman gave you are to repositories of the old plans scanned and posted by other builders. If you want to look at the old catalogs, check out The Ninfinger Files . Sven Knudson has a collection of scans dating back to the beginning years of the hobby.

Welcome to the asylum, BTW...

You might also specify which of the "original" of the Scissor Wing you would like to find.
