Sure, I actually spotted a few things when I went back and looked.
First of all, make modelNames a @property, and @synthesize it in your
implementation.  Then:

- (void) initModelNames {
    /* setup two NSArray: strNames, strKeys */
    self.modelNames = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjects:strNames
forKeys:strKeys];
    //
    // was this:
    // modelNames = [[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjects:strNames
forKeys:strKeys] retain];
    //
    // Using the property instead gives you more consistency, and even
allows you to
    // safely call this method later if you need to.
}

- (void) dealloc {
    self.modelNames = nil;
    //
    // was this:
    // [modelNames release];
    // modelNames = nil;
    //
    // Using the property instead, you both release it and clear out
the variable at once.
    [super dealloc];
    NSLog(@"MyModel dealloc method invoked!"); //dealloc checkpoint 2
}

Unrelated to the myModel property, this must must be fixed:

- (id) initWithNumber(int)numValue {
    if (self = [super init]) {
        self.number = numValue;
        [self initModelNames];
    }
    return self;
    //
    // was this:
    // return [self autorelease];
    //
    // "self" is not something you've received from an alloc or copy
method, nor have you
    // sent it a retain, so you must not release it! I'm somewhat
surprised this even worked.
}
