LBO practice models

I'm trying to teach myself how to model LBOs for interviews, and beyond buying the WSO PE guide and Street Of Walls, are there any good practice exercises which emulate the kind of LBO case study you might get in a PE interview? / is anyone willing to share resources?

A lot of other posts suggest getting friends in IB to send over practice models, but sadly I'm from a consulting background, and don't know anyone in IB, so any help appreciated!

Thank you
