Hasegawa made a kit #216 about 8 years ago.  GreatModels still shows it but last-in-stock back in '05.  Here is mine:

 

There is one on ebay right now if you are interested.

Sorry, not for sale guy. Disapprove [V]   She's part of my fleet of 31 carriers in 1/700.  Check the ebay stores - there are a couple there too for a little over $20 plus shipping.
