That's it for the aircraft this year, now on to my ships and boats launched from the Shipyards...
There haven't been too many, but I must say my Shipyards have been busier than in past years.
First is the Hasegawa Japanese Nitta Maru luxury cruise liner in 1/700 scale:
Next is the Renwall 1/500 scale USS Shangi-La:

All of these are in 1/72 scale as well.
This first one is the Modelcollect Russian SCUD C:

Followed by a Military Wheels (?) PK-43 Russian Field Kitchen:
My Syrians needed more vehicles so here's the Dragon T-34/82 in Syrian markings:
Another Syrian tank, this time the ancient ESCI PzIV with the machine gun mount mod and additional 12.7mm Russian machine gun:

Another UM Models British Achilles M-10:
This next one is an S-Models US Marine M247 Mule that I added a recoilless rifle to:
That thing is an inch long. This next one is the Trumpeter T26E4 with some scratchbuilt mods added to it to reflect the first attempt they made to add a longer 90mm gun:
Nobody ever released a kit of that particular tank so I got tired of waiting. Moving on....

Followed by an Eastern European company's Russian Gaz AAA cargo truck:
This is another IBG kit done for a recovery vehicles group build somewhere, the Chevy CWT-15 Holmes wrecker:

Finally, this last one is the Trumpeter Russian Uragan MLRS:
And last, here's some of the miscellaneous models I completed in between all of those above.
First is this Military Wheels 1/72 scale Russian AS-15 Kent cruise missile set:
Then I finished up an HO/OO scale Atlas Lumber Mill:
To show I do finish the occasional car, here's the AMT 1/24 scale 1929 Coke Delivery Can:
And finally, Pegasus Hobbies 1/144 scale Jules Verne's Nautilus from 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea:
And that completes this year's Pass in Review. It has been a wild and fun ride through my "factory floor" this year. Granted, most of these are nowhere near the quality shown by most everyone else, but I'm happy with them and thrilled to have gotten so many done this year to clear out my stash. Having only bought or received only ten models this year, I managed a build to buy ratio of 6:1 this year! Cool.
Anyway, thank you all for looking in and taking in this Pass in Review with me. Hopefully, next year will be just as productive.... or more.
