Not as yet. It would be twice as large as Leopold, and twice as expensive. Still, with Trumpeter and Dragon trying to outdo each other, anything is possible. GPO
It would be an expensive but possible kit in HO scale or perhaps 1/72-76, but nobody in their right mind would do this kit up in 1/35 scale.
Lew Pruneau did one for the 1984 IPMS Nationals in Atlanta and it took four guys to bring it in -- he used a Luan plywood door blank for a base (36" x
78"). The model took up nearly the entire base, and later on someone noted it was about two actual feet (70 scale feet) too short.The kit would not be $200, but probably more like $800 and ergo only sold to a handful of people.
Unless, of course, you want junk with aa PVC pipe barrel and things like that...

There are only a few scratch built guns. Pruneu and a Belgian guy have displayed theirs. Have a look at this 1/16th one.Perhaps he will sell plans he used.
