Hi HUM,
The closest kit coming to mind would be those from Robbe 1:40(U47) or Amati 1:72 depending of making an RC Model or not.
Unfortunately the 7A and 7B are quite a bit different in several aspects, i.e.: length, beam Saddle tanks of 7B noticeble wider, aft deck and single vs. twin rudders. Thus even with a lot of effort and modifications you will end up with an 'approximation' but not a scale model of the original. I am afraid for a model with any reasonable fidelity to scale and accuracy in detail, you will have to end up with scratch-building it. Rgds, RB
