Ahoy Chriss,
Welcome to Modelshipwrights mate!

Hmmm, you sure know how to make an entrance, bro...as far as I know, there are no kits available that you can directly build this specific vessel, my friend...would be a nice scratch build though!

Battlefleet Models will be your best bet for the biggest selection of transport/freighter style kits that are currently available.

Let's see if our freighter friends have any more input to add.........
