Matt - It is very scarce in Australia as well. In over 23 years I have been here, heavily involved in flying RC with two clubs and participating in events, I have never seen one... Last time I saw one was in the couple of years when I started in the hobby, some 39 years ago... When I bought my ME-109 a friend bought the Cambrian Hurricane and we shared the shipping costs, but his aeroplane is still in the box and probably will stay there for many years.
At the club, when I took the ME-109 for the maiden flight, the club member that assisted me with the hand-launch was very amused as he only ever hand-launched electric models. He was stunned by how well it flew. I gave him a rug to clean the oil from his hands ; )

Cheers,
Eran
