I wonder if there are other models than Gothenburg by East Indians built around 1750?

I think Gothenburg is a model of the replica of Gothenburg. It is built to function according to modern requirements and probably does not quite match the historic ship.

are you looking for any East Indieman merchant ship of this period, or especially from dutch?

from Euromodel there was once a kit available of the english Falmouth (18th Century East Indiaman Company Armed Merchant Ship) in scale 1/75

also the Bonhomme Richard was earlier a french merchant ship east indiaman, formerly the Duc de Duras

There are a section kit and also a complete full hull kit in scale 1:48 available
 
There is a brilliant work by Jean Boudrillot on the French East India company.
I'm sure there are similar works on the british and Dutch ones, in their respective language.
The Goteborg is actually a very close reproduction, and the Falmouth model is a nice one too.
For the various sizes of ships used on the india trade, you can always refer to af Chapman and his treaty on naval architecture.
 
There is also the Batavia from Kolderstok
