Yup, they've been out for a couple of weeks here in Japan. Both the TBF-1C and TBM-3. They look great in the box! Selling for 8,200 yen here (about $78 USD).

Got mine for $87.07 at VLS. You get bombs, torpedo and the large gas tank that fits into the bomb bay.
I think the detail is outstanding. The photo etch seat belts are one piece so all you have to do is paint them. The instructions are ok but I think they left off the painting guide... Is the dorsal gun glass supposed to be completely open in the center?
I am really looking forward to building this beast it looks like it will be an outstanding kit when finished.
