I bought my when I was on model exhibition in Poprad, Slovakia. The Polish modelers usually bring with them a couple of kits to sell. The price was 200 Slovak crowns what is cca 7 USD.
Since there are several inaccurances (e.g. the size of holes for rockets in frame) be carefull when glueing

On the internet I found this site:

Look wor the "CZERWONY PAŹDZIERNIK" + model in google and you will sure find some supporters in Polland. In case you have some problems I can help. Just let me know.

I used balsawood to harden the ribs. I was supposed to use 2mm and 1mm thick paper, but I found out that it is quite hard to cut "nicely" such a thick paper, so I used balsawood, which is rather expensive but - what a pleasure to work with.
And I used noncolored adhesive usually used for paper and wood work. Since It is good to water down the glue, all glues which are water based are good. For some quick work I used quick drying adhesive.
