Royal Navy V class destroyers

Hiya i am looking for a model for an old seadog in our local care home.He served on HMS Versatile <D32> during WW2.Does any one know if there are any models of any of this class of ship out there.There were about 28 ships in the class including two <vampire and vendetta>that were Royal Australian Navy.Most were conmmissioned around 1917-1918,served in both wars aftermodifications ans were scrapped in the late 40s.Any ship in the class would be fine for my purpose.Any leads would be appreciated
thanks.

OK this is embarrassing guys.Should have some research first.Found the WAk MODEL of HMS Vega which is same class in her 1942 configuration which will be close enough to keep the old fella happy

By 1942 Vega (as modelled by WAK) was a WAIR and in equipment and looks was nuffin like Versatile. "The old fella" would definitely notice. Dunno if there's a paper model of a V&W in original form.

Hello Herky,

JSC makes the HMS Vanity in 1/400 scale.

Unfortunately also modelled after undergoing one of the earliest WAIR conversions, although Vanity is not listed on the page I referenced before.
