Greg heres a link to a pic of it on the top flight site
http://www.top-flite.com/accys/topr2187.html No it doesnt have a ruler I use one of them triangle architectural rulers for that. I also use corel draw and import a good set of 3 views and trace them. I then enlarge them to the size of my model. I can then overlay them to my plans to check for accuracy of outline. Then I save them and print them out so when I need to detail my plane I have it right there with no measuring or guesswork.
As for the price I would check with a LHS or tower as mine was only like 5 bucks
Never mind I did a search on tower for you
