US P-40E in the Philippines - A member on Finescale Modeler's forum posted this picture and asked who wants to try building this airplane.  It's a P-40E captured by the Japanese in the Phillippines.  It consists of a bright orange 'hawk' head in the nose area. I happen to have an old Arii P-40E kit that I picked up from a model show for maybe $5, so what the heck - it'll be fun

Pegasus Models V-2 Rocket - This is Pegasus Model of the V2 rocket, a snap together kit you can get for around $10 US. Despite it being a snap together, it really is a good and fun little kit.
