There seems to be at least one kit out there, made in the UK by Billing Boats, at 1/12 scale:

Price might put you off, but if you really want it, comparing the cost to the amount of time put into it could make it seem easier on the wallet.

regards,

Jack

The Billings kit is the only one I am aware of.

Thanks for posting about this subject. That Billings model really looks nice. I am going to have to seriously consider doing this one myself. Amazed that anyone has put something out there for it.
