Nice outfit GF...watch out for Doc Oct. My wife was born around Quebec City and put up for adoption. She grew up in Muncie and moved to Florida in the 80's. She eventually found here biological mother and met her in Montreal in the late 90's. I was there, too. Loved Montreal. Now, back to topic. This particular model is the version that MPC sold in 1980...which is a bad model but sells for over $100 on Ebay. as for the parts ...good question. I'm doing it the hard way. In related news, there is a thread titled '1/700 and 1/350 scale Cygnus builds'. The subjects are two versions that are being worked through Shapeways 3d printers. Check it out.
