Whilst I'm not about to rush out and preorder it anytime soon, someone here may. It is listed for a mid-August release, and comes in at reasonable $163US. I expect it will be put up against the Tamiya kit at some point, hopefully it is an improvement over that kit, at a lessor price point.

Got mine a couple days ago. It weighs in at over 13#. The parts all have very nice detail and are clean but I'm a little disappointed that the handles, clamps, and such on the upper hull are molded in rather than being separate parts. At 1/16 scale it's something you would not expect to see. Also has a two-piece barrel. Again, for the price you'd think they would have an aluminum one or at least a slide-molded one.

All that said, it is impressively sized, suitably heavy, and should build into a nice model.
