HMV still designs card models, see here: https://www.facebook.com/HamburgerModellbaubogenVerlag/
TICONDEROGA is indeed classified as "Sold Out" on Fentens web page :(
But for people who are interested in a building report of the model, look here:
HMV USS Ticonderoga - Bauberichte Schiffe - Kartonbau.de - Alles rund um Papiermodelle, Kartonmodellbau und Bastelbogen
And here for a gallery of the finished model:
[GALERIE] USS Ticonderoga vom HMV - Galerie Schiffe - Kartonbau.de - Alles rund um Papiermodelle, Kartonmodellbau und Bastelbogen
And here the model enlarged to scale 1:200:
U.S.S. Ticonderoga CG47 von HMV auf 1:200 vergrößert
Hope this brings a little light into things.
