Does anyone make a MB G500 SUV in 1/35?

Does anybody know of a kit of the Mercedes Benz G500 SUV in 1/35 scale? If possible, a kit of a 2004-2006 model year car would be great, but I'm willing to go for pretty much anything at this point. I'm looking for the civilian version, but if only the milutary G vehicles are out there, I'll take that too. I would most appreciate any assistance.

Not to be too discouraging but 1/35th scale civilian cars are really really rare. You may need to go with a 1/32 scale die cast metal version.
Maybe check Corgi for one.

Thanks Scott--that's exactly what I'm afraid of, that what I'm looking for may not exist. I was hoping that, since the G500 has a military clone, I might have better luck. I checked around but could only find a 1/18 scale die-cast. If anyone knows of a a die-cast model that is close to 1/35, I would appreciate the help, too.
