Hi Gang,
I am looking for a model of a Kawasaki Prairie 360 ATV. Are there any options for a commercial ATV in 1/35 scale.

MMK have the Suzuki as used by British forces. A plastic version was promised by Bronco some years ago but did not happen. That was a commercial bike adapted for military use.
I believe that all the other current Quad kits are military special versions, but could be backdated. Polaris models like the Live Resin offering are commercially available, for example. I believe that MMK also do a Polaris. All military quads are derived or adapted from commercial products.

The British use the Yamaha Grizzly (not a Suzuki). British Special Forces were pictured using Polaris ATVs early on in Afghanistan.
Not seen anyone offering a Kawasaki ATV in any scale.

Maisto has released a diecast 1/32nd scale Kawasaki 4x4 Teryx 4 750 Quad :
Several other civilian ATVs are available in 1/32nd scale...

Apologies - of course I meant Yamaha. Slip of the brain and fingers. Even more embarrassingly, I actually bought some more of them when I worked for MOD............. #epicfail! Getting old is A Bad Thing......
The MMK kit is the Yamaha Grizzly 450. The Live Resin is the Polaris MV850. I thought MMK also did a Polaris, but it seems not. I have seen one on eBay but can't remember the brand and can't find it now.
I believe that one of the resin companies is working on the Polaris RZR, but this is not a quad in the strictest sense.
This "ATV" is available from a company called Yufan. New to me. BNA Modelworld in Australia stock it and it is on eBay. I'm not sure exactly what it's meant to be.
