7.62mm FN-MAG / GPMG - don't know where though....

That's the same gun as the US M240.

Live-Resin has this gun and accessory sets for it in 1/35.

Basic gun:

Gun displayed with additional sights/lasers set

 

Barrels/ammo kit

Tripod

Modern swivel mount

Swivel mount shown with aditional accessory sets

These kits are available from Military Miniatures Warehouse among others. The company site at teh top of this post also lists their dealers, There may be some in the UK making shipping cheaper for you.

Remember, if the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

Yes, that's the one, or close to it.

It's the British GPMG (Gimpy), which is a license built version of the FN-MAG - I think the model you are looking for is an L7A1 or L7A2, close to this, but without bi-pod & with longer barrel

The Israeli FN-MAG is available in resin from Accurate Armour & is pretty close to what you want;

Dragon also do the 3806 "modern machine gun" set which includes an L7A2 - both of these are available in the UK.
