Lots of them on Yahoo Japan for about $20 US each. I just had a huge box arrive filled with yahoo parts, but passed on the model. Had I employed foresight I would have bought a bunch for the members here. Doh!

As far as I know these kits are part of a series from a motorcycle and car business called Red Baron in Japan. That means they aren't available as a normal purchase and the price is likely to only one way, and that is up.

I didn't see the size on the box, but it looks to be about 1:12, the same as the Tamiya kits.
