USS Isle Royale(AD 29) model?

In fact it might not be too hard. The Isle Royale is based on the C3 cargo ship, at least as a foundation, and Revell of Germany recently released the Hawaiian Pilot, which is the old Burleigh C3 kit. Thats available for $18. Then the fun begins, and it would be, too.

motionmodels does fine work, average cost is $3000. 12 month waiting list.

Stumbled across this:....http://www.motionmodels.com/ships/misc/ad26.html   while looking for tender kits. They apparently build to order.

the only model i was able to find were for AD-15, AD-16, AD-17 and AD-18.i thought about trying to get one of those and modify it..but i dont know.

Decent kits of auxilary ships are few and far between. As far as I know, no kits of AD-26 class destroyer tenders currently exist. However, Liberty ships are not totally dis-similar in size and shape compared to the tenders cranked out during WWII. Maybe you could convert Trumpeter's Liberty ship into something passable. Now if only somebody would make a decent kit of my old boat, USS Shenandoah (AD-44).
