Awesome!
I want one as soon as possible but I have not seen it for sale yet here in the USA.
Hannants has it available.

That's great news! Can't wait to see some pictures of the parts and your build.  :)

If I were you, I'd order from Hannants.  I preordered two from Airfix USA in early June and have yet to receive an email letting me know when they might ship.  Although shipping is free for the two I preordered, Hannants has them for enough less that, even factoring the cost of shipping to the USA, it's pretty much a wash cost-wise.  If I don't hear anything from Airfix USA by this weekend, I'll probably cancel my preorder and order from Hannants (pretty much my go-to online shop nowadays, even considering it's across the pond).  I'm afraid if I delay much longer, then I'll miss out on the initial run of this kit.  It appears to be quite the seller.

Looks great.  Looking forward to getting a copy of my own.
I had planned to merge a Hasegawa P-40E with the old fuselage from the Monogram.
Looks like that is moot now!
