Seems like eBay is your only option. That's a very nice kit at a low price. On online hobby shops it goes for around 50-60 bucks.

I love the E-2 but it has to be 1/48. You are off to a good start.

The 1/72 one is such a nice kit. You'll have no problems putting it together. Either markings that you choose,it'll come out great. I know it will. 😄

Thanks Jose! 😄
Dietmar,it's quite a nice kit. It goes together very well but you'll need putty on the usual places that are on most aircraft kits.
