I only know of the Welsh Models 1/144 vacform Starliner kit.

I did hear rumours of an impending resin conversion for the Heller Super Connie some years ago, but I don't think it ever happened. :(
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

I've learned Kappner's Fliegerhorst did make one at some point this millenium, but acquiring one has turned out to be akin to finding Jesus' Bicycle.
Perfect is the enemy of Finished. I presume. I've never achieved either.

Yeah, that's the Kappner Fliegerhorst conversion mentioned previously, and only mentioned on Scalemates, I can't find any mention of it anywhere else at all.
