With 8 months gone out of the year we have 41 models on display in our Model Of The Year thread. At this rate we should have close to 60 by years end. A quick count revealed we had 68 models last year. let's get carving!!

If I finished everything I started this year, we could probably reach that goal Lou.

[lastvautour]

I have the 1/48 Argus, 1/72 Yukon, 1/72 Thunderbolt, 1/144 CF-100, 1/32 Sabre, 1/72 Mustang, 1/24 Hawk, and last and worked on the least, a 1/350 LST.
I may finish one or two by year's end as the first two are priority but take up most of my time now a days.

    Lou,

   You can add the "Shadow". That should bring the numbers up.

   Cheers
