Yes i have one here's what i wrote about it on another msg board:

"Anyone else got this kit yet? Got mine and i think its great! Might not be to some peoples taste, due to all the rivet detail, but i like it.

Its a nicely detailed kit, which allows to have an open or closed canopy, deployed refueling probe, open gun bay and even and open parabrake fairing, also has Mk.82 (some with fuse extenders) and AGM.12 Bullpups. Only drawbacks it has imho are that it will need a new bang seat (but doesn't nearly every kit these days?) and doesn't come with any Mk.117's.

The decals are also very nice, offering you a choice of either a natural metal finished aircraft, standard SEA scheme bird and final the famous SEA schemed 'Polish Glider'.

So all in all i give it an 8 out of 10, really good kit."

And here are some sprue shots (as i said over on the other site i'm not great at photography so this is the best i could do till someone better shows up):

As you can see, the its pretty obvious a G and maybe even an F will be forth coming. I would like to see a B but i doubt we'll ever see a new molding of that variant.

Looking nice! Hope it'll hit shops over here soon as well!
