When will we see a 1/350 USS Wolverine or USS Sable in styrene?

There was an article in "Fine Scale Modeller" magazine a few years back on a scratch built USS Wolverine, (at least I think it was the wolverine, Paddle-wheel propelled training carrier).
It would make a fantastic model but it is way far off the beaten track as a possible subject IMHO. Pity, I would snap it up right away.
Cheers,
Julian

The answer starts with an "n", ends with an "r", and Eve is in the middle.

If you need pics to scratch one, I've got about 100 pics of Sable and 75 of Wolverine.

Here's one in 1/72 of Wolverine, built by Bill Waldorf, on display at the Kalamazoo Air Zoo in Mich.
