The closest you get is a ZU 23-2 on a Gaz-66 and also include in a Lebanese M113 kit.

Here's a ZPU4 at the 4ID museum at Ft. Hood, TX:

Ha, we only went into the 1st Cav area because the big PX was on that end plus the annual fun run down motorpool row.

The kit I was referring to is from Eastern Express:

But I've found another option from Czech Scale, ZU 23-2 AA Gun listed on GreatModels.com
