I didn't think I built too many models this year but I guess I did. Didn't do very much R/C building though.
Fine Molds 1/48 A5M4
Fine Molds 1/48 A7M1 Reppu
Academy 1/72 CCKW 353
Tamiya 1/48 CCKW 353 Airfield Fuel Truck
Tamiya 1/48 Kurogane
Tamiya/Legend 1/35 M74 Tank Retriever
Tamiya/Gaso-Line 1/48 CCKW 353 Bomb Truck
Tamiya 1/32 F-15's. 3 were built up for movie props. All three are built, one C is finished completely (pictured), the second C awaits decals, and the E is awaiting painting specifications. I was surprised at some of the challenges these kits brought, they are somewhere between the Lancaster and the Betty in quality. A 1/8 square ID brass tube runs in from between the nozzles up to where the engine fans are, and a1 1/8 square keystock bar slides in to support the model for filming. It is photoshopped out in this photo.
Monogram/Fox 3 1/48 P-80A-1
Tamiya 1/48 F-84G
Italeri 1/72 Horsa
Hasegawa 1/48 J2M6 Raiden
Fine Molds 1/48 Mitsubishi Ka14
Tamiya 1/48 G4M1 Betty
Monogram Me 109E Refurbished 1965 build
Airfix 1/72 P-51D
Accurate Miniatures 1/48 P-51A
Planet 1/48 PT-19
Monogram 1/48 SNJ-3
Valom 1/72 YFM-1B
Tamiya 1/72 P-47D-15
With my grandson Alex, 5 years old now:
Meng Kids B-17
Monogram 1/48 F4U-4 (This one is way past its prime compared to the new mold kit I built way back when)
Atlantis Aurora 1/48 HUP-2
Hawk 1/48 F-84G, for some reason one of my favorite old kits.
With grandson Isaac, also 5:
Atlantis/Aurora 1/48 HUP-2. The paint job was strictly specified by Alex, he made me shake on the deal. He alone placed the polka dot masks.
And with granddaughter Audrey, 7.
Revell 1/32 F4F-4, painted with custom mixed craft paints. I applied a lot of super glue on the inside of the wing joints when Audrey wasn't looking.

Re: Jeaton's year in review
Thanks, John, and you are very kind. I did have a lot of fun modeling this year, and I was almost as prolific as any given 6 month period when I was 10 years old, in numbers built.
Re: Jeaton's year in review
My goodness, what a collection! Terrific work!
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Re: Jeaton's year in review
Wow! So much good stuff John! That was a most impressive and productive year of building!

Re: Jeaton's year in review
You really went into overdrive to get that many cranked out in a year. That is crazy cool. Great work on all John.

Re: Jeaton's year in review
Geez. You really had a prolific year. And some of those don't look that easy to build
