Yep there is. Too bad it's not a kit but an R/C. Sorry, no pics.

GHQ makes just about everything you can imagine in 1/285th scale. Wargamers use them. I have some at home. I'll take a pic if I remember. The detail is really incredible considering an Abrams will fit on a Quarter...

If you're talking about DML 1/144 armour, these are finished models. Have been around for a while in Japan, under several brand-names such as Bandai or Cando, most of them manufactured by DML. But now they are release under DML brandname also.
One package will contain may be 12-15, but they are not of the same camo. So it is like a lucky draw, as you don't know which one you're getting until you paid and open the box later. Sometimes there will also a "special" variant in a cartoon. It will be ask ing for higher price later at auctions.
I got several of these. I can take some photo and show to you guys later. (I am out of town now)
