Hi!

      I believe there is one out there. I think My "Blue Bomb" is one. Background for those not in the know. I painted the whole thing Flat Sea Blue ( Testors-Model Master) and detail disappeared unless you use a Jewelers Loupe and a Flashhlight! Sadly, one of My best 1/350 ships!

According to Scalemates, only in 1/700 and 1/192 scales, nothing in 1/350.

Although the Lindberg 1/300 Rudderow Class DE kit is externally nearly identical in appearance. I'm building one of those for a friend of mine.
