Looks like Legend is the first out of the gate with this one. Reasonable price too...

Yup, it was reported here a couple week sago when the news first broke.

Windmark has just the mantlet cover. I received mine yesterday and installed it because I am doing Wild One 4, which didn't have the light in the pic I have. The Windmark one is fairly nice. The barrel is elevated some, though. In their picture, it doesn't look that way, but no matter how much I adjusted and fiddled with it, I couldn't get the barrel level. Wasn't a huge deal for me but just a heads up.

and my Legends sets arrived today. Neat thing is they give you not only foldable C-ration boxes, but inserts that have the individual packs printed on them. You can leave one of the boxes partially open and it looks like there is actually stuff in them. The rest is typical good quality, no instructions. Mostly, you can go from the box top and online picture. They give you brass rod to construct a storage rack on the engine deck, but most of it is hidden in the box top pic. I'll have to look around for pics of the real thing to see exactly how to recreate it
