A great place to find all things aircraft:

Airliners.net

Just do a photo search for the Antonov and specify cockpit photos.  It will give you everything you could possibly need.

As for the modelling itself, I'd be happy to do a simple conversion for you, but there is a better way.  Just go get the Gmax SDK and the MakeMDL SDK from Microsoft's Site:

ACOF SDKs

I would also recommend both Middleman and MDLCommander (click on Freeware-->Go to Downloads-->MDLCommander).  They work in concert to give you a little better control over MakeMDL.

Just install the Gmax SDK to the Gmax main folder.  The rest should be taken care of for you.  Read up on the two extra little progs to make sure you get them installed properly.

The reason I am suggesting you do all of this yourself is that many little issues can come up in the export process that might require you to do a little model tweaking between exports, so you'll want to be able to do it yourself to make things quicker.

The number of polys in a model isn't REALLY a big issue, but I try to keep it around or under 60,000 if I'm including a VC, simply because things will lag if there are more than 75,000.  Just remember to make it "look" right.  Just enough to fool the eye, really.

Ivan Hsu, the creator of MDLC, knows a way, with that you could transplant a VC from one plane into another. But I think it is a hell of a lot of work. Lot´s of hex knowledge and so needed....

you can actually take the model apart and add one yourself, its been done with the stock aircraft in CFS2, Val, Kate, P-39 etc

Takes a hell of alot of hexing though!
