How about HMS Vanguard, the last Battleship built in the world. It is a pretty hard model to find, considering the place in history it has. To my mind it would be a fitting tribute to the ship and the type as a whole.

Saw the Vanguard mention and went down the wrong path 
In that case it won't happen as it does not have mass market appeal to introduce as a partwork, and likely the very same reason why its also thin on the ground in plastic form.

This brings back memories, I was about 5 or 6 and the family were on holiday to Weymouth. We took a paddle steamer trip out to Portland Harbour? H.M.S, Vanguard was anchored there along with the destroyer H.M.S. Scorpion, and the aircraft carrier H.M.S. Indefatigable. Coincidentally the train down was hauled by West country Pacific Swanage which has been preserved.
