It would be really interesting to plot the numbers of each model built each year over the years. To do this, one would need the Van's Hobbs meter readings at approximately one-year intervals.

Does anyone keep track of this?

This is possible using the "Wayback Machine" at archive.org. I am trying to get some data now.

The Wayback machine?

Wow, how cool is that? I've never heard of that (other than the old cartoon, of course).
Post the results of whatever you find,

I did that a few years ago and noticed that the completion rate nearly doubled at some point. Probably soon after the intro of quick build kits.

Hoping for data for each model

The post from the other thread gives total RV's, which is nice, but I was hoping to see the data for each model.

I'm curious about how much the completion of -6's leveled off, and whether the rate of completion of 7's is similar to what -6's were like prior to the -7. Also interested in whether/how fast the -7's are overtaking the -8's.

That kind of thing.
