CVA-16 USS Lexington question (newby)

[JeffC]

OK I'm new here so bear with me. I am looking to build a model of CVA-16 USS Lexington in 1/350 scale. I want to do the SCB-27 upgrade version. So my question is, does a kit of this exist? Are there drawings that I can obtain so that I could scratch build it? Or am I WAY IN over my head?

Thanks!

Trumpeter makes 350th Essexes in their WWII guise, but not in a post-war guise.

There is a resin upgrade set floating around somewhere that you can use, though.
