Just off the top of my head and the list will be adjusted as I remember kits, but here goes:

1/72 Italeri M1
1/25 Revell PT Cruiser (See My Army Staff Car article)
1/72 Italeri F-117A
1/35 Italeri M998
1/25 Monogram Hummer
1/48 Monogram P-51B
1/35 DML Mule
1/35 Tamiya M4A3E2 Jumbo (will rebuild with the TWS hull, turret & detail set)
1/35 Tamiya M4A3E8 motorized kit
1/35 Tamiya SAS Jeep

OK, don't know if this one should count...I finally finished an old Tamiya Schwimmwagen that I started around 1988. I got the new one in a trade and promised myself I would finish the old one first.

Holy cow Sabot/GSPatton - you're smokin' the kits.
Ok - here goes. I went back and looked through my documentation :-[] on what I did this year - Ehh not to bad.
I finished:
Monogram's Classic TBF Avenger in February
Tamiya's Panzer II w/ figures and base in March
Tamiya's M48A3 w/ base in April
Italeri's C119g w/ diorama in June
Tamiya's M3A2 Half Track w/ figures in October

I finished a small 2 figure vingettte somewhere in there too.

I will finish the Campaign Dio

So that will be 7 projects (related to Armorama) finished by year end. I also have Tamiya's M5 almost done, with any luck and an early completion of my Campaign dio I may bust it out by year end.

So to top it all off I have these NON-Armorama models to build this year
My son had to build 4 models of Tom Sawyer items - we built a chest of money, the church Tom hid in, the school he went to, and the cave he ended up in with Injun Joe.
Another project I helped with was a Newton Scooter, a rubber band powered car. Made from boxes and balsa and an old rubber band assembly from a plane.
I am also working on a 1/9 scale boat for a christmas present for my dad - its a lightning class sailboat all out of wood. Pretty cool to work in a different media.

This has been one of my better years in a long time ....I finished all of 4 kits this year
Tamiya's Famo (beautiful kit)
Academy's M3 Honey
Dragons JS II
and Tamiya's KV I B
I also started my Dragon Wagon with trailer from Tamiya but looks like its going to be a while before this one is finished ...Going all out on this one 4 different sets of PE so it should take me way into 2003 but I'm loving it !
Happy holidays to all

Pz. IIIJ
Marder III (OK, I still need to finish the tracks!)
M4
Also about 5 things I started and then re-shelved out of boredom/frustration including; Hetzer, Hummer, Italeri Alligator (ugh!) and a Schwimmwagen.

Proud of the M4, took months and came out OK!

Now for 2003, I hope to finish a Mid-East dio. Trying to do a scene from Lebannon in the early 80's. Have stated working on an M60A1 for it. Plan to have two vehicles (one a small recon jeep) and about 7 or 8 figures. Just a 'clearing the street' scene based on some photos I have. Will be using a plaster building I have ,but wish there were some way to convert it to lighter resin.

Also hope to do another Sherman. I have one of Verlinden's Aunt Jemima conversions and would like to put it on DML's M4A1. Problem is, I don't have the M4A1 and don't want to spend $50 + on it!

Not much I'm afraid

an old Italery Sherman kit 1/35
My first dio ever with a Willy's jeep.

Hopefully I can finish my dummy tank dio, but I doubt it
my Italery M32 recovery tank .... but that will be a 2003 project

With the upcomming family gatherings, I don't think that I can build much more

Not that many, but quite diverse!

1/72 scale FAMO towing an 88, Horse drawn artillery and Hanomag in a 'convoy' diorama.
1/76 Jagdpanther in a 'snowscene' diorama
1/72 and 1/48 scale Spitfire Mk2 and ME-109E (specifically a victor and its victim and one of the few planes where I know the colour is right cos I've got some bits of it recovered from the crash site!)
1/125 U-Boat in a rough sea diorama should be done by New Years Day with a bit of luck.
