Not yet. Only just got the Shenzhou a couple of weeks ago. I suspect it will be at least another month before we see Disco.
Yes, some individuals in America have received their Discovery models, this though was an error by Eaglemoss.
How was that an error? Are people getting them who didn't order them? I find that statement confusing.
They have said that they were sent out earlier than planned, hence the error.
Ah. I understand...I guess. I'm not entirely sure how sending them out early is a problem for them, considering how long it takes for them to send the other models, particularly the specials. This should actually be viewed as a positive thing from a PR POV, and yet they see it as a negative for themselves. Typical back-asswards Eaglemoss. 
Trekcore posted a review of the Discovery

Just got the first email announcement for the BSG Viper MK II pre-order on the U.K. site. Nothing on the main US site yet, nor anything about subscribing to the new line. Just the single model. But I'm still excited about this!
hero collector has an article about BSG and the first images i've seen of the 2004 galactica and OG viper. sculpts look great.
They look fantastic.
So, if the bi-monthly release holds, we got the folllwong schedule:
#01: Viper Mk II (2004) - April
#02: Cylon Raider (2004) - June
#03: BS Galactica (2004) - August
04: Viper Mk I (1978) - October
Unknown/uncertain order: Galactica (1978), Pegasus (2004), Colonial One, Raptor, Cylon Basestar (1978, + 2004), Viper Mk VII (2004)
Pure guess: Resurrection ship? Cloud 9 and other select civilian ships?

they're saying 12 issues, given battlestar's niche popularity, i have a feeling this one won't run like the never-ending trek collection, they've gotta get the greatest hits out in 12.
don't forget the heavy raider, the colonial shuttle, or maybe even the blackbird or battlestar valkyrie as issue 12.
i mean, if i wasn't knee-deep in star trek ships, me too.
and theoretically they could expand to include caprica and blood and chrome... i'd love a model of the cylon war-era galactica with the armor plating, battlestar osiris, graystone industries phoenix jet, caprican viper... the list goes on.
Sadly, since the old IDIC page has been gone for years since GeoCities went away (I think that's where it was being hosted), finding original photos of the studio model as it appeared in TMP with its original paint job has been difficult, but I did find one of the original publicity shots showing a much yellower RCS and phaser bank:
I like the spacedock blues for the refit myself.
