HMS Exmouth question

Does anybody know if a kit of the HMS Exmouth is available pref' in 1'72 scale? Im sure i did spot one once. My grandfather was serving as a Petty Officer Cook when it got torpedoed by U-22 on the 21st Jan' 1940 I would love to build a model of this Destroyer as a kind of tribute to my Grandfather. Any info on a model of this ship would be great, i suppose any scale i could get would be ok, but i would think if a 1'72 is available it would be quite a biggie

The only kit I know of is the Tamiya 1/700 scale E Class destroyer. This would need a little work to modify it (basically another 4.7" gun) as Exmouth was a flotilla leader, and the Tamiya kit is based on HMS Echo.
