They sure look good from here! What issues are you having with water based paint? I'm thinking of switching, easier clean up and friendlier fumes seem to be worth investigating.

Thanks Dave and Rich for the kind words. I've been on a F1 kick lately, amassing 1/24 kits, I don't have room for anything bigger.

Love that color, well done!

I should have stated in the open, this is 1/24 and the kit is from Wave, a manufacturer I'd never heard of before. I do have a Tamiya in the stash for the future.

From Wikipedia: The Tyrrell 020 was a Formula One racing car designed by Harvey Postlethwaite and George Ryton for Tyrrell Racing and raced during the 1991 season. The 020 was driven by Satoru Nakajima who brought the Honda engine contract with him and also by Stefano Modena. Its best result was a second place by Modena in the Canadian Grand Prix. Tyrrell scored 12 points to finish 6th in the Constructors' Championship with half the points scored by Modena's 2nd in Canada. The car was powered by the 690 bhp (515 kW; 700 PS) Honda RA101E V10 engine previously raced by McLaren in 1990 and maintained by Mugen Motorsports, which would run Mugen-Honda badged engines the following year for Footwork Arrows. The car was updated for the 1992 season and was dubbed the 020B. For this season the Honda V10 was replaced with the 680 bhp (507 kW; 689 PS) Ilmor LH10 V10 engine and was driven by Olivier Grouillard and veteran Andrea de Cesaris. The team only scored 8 points for the season but again finished in 6th place. My first time building a kit from Wave. Very basic, few parts, it was almost a snap kit the way it went together. The tires were suspect as they seemed "sticky" no matter how much I cleaned them. I coated them with Future both before and after the decals and they seem to be OK. Simple curbside slump-buster between more complex builds. Comments welcome, thanks for looking.

That is sweet! Mind sharing any details, scale, manufacturer, paint used, issues with the build? The fluorescent red is spot on.

Looks like great therapy, they all look good.

As others have mentioned Heller kits are quirky at best. Display it with the bonnet open to see the great engine work, well done.

Beautiful work, your persistence paid off with an awesome replica!

Well done! Great to see open wheel cars on here, keep them coming.

That's a beauty! Great job on the various metal finishes.

Reminds me of the old Cartoons magazine, looks great!

Love the classics, well done!

Very well done replica of a racing icon. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for sharing this amazing replica! This site attracts some world class builders.

I like it, when stock cars almost were!

One of the last of the owner-driver entries, outstanding work and photography!

Well done, those decals could not have been easy!

Looks great! Those Heller kits are definitely a challenge, you did very well.

Outstanding paint and beautiful photography!

I agree and I really like your choice of subjects.

Great car, I love that hauler!

I like it! Looks pretty advanced for a 1955 mold.

Great paint and foil work, well done.

Lovely truck! You did a very nice job. I believe this and several other of the Pyro kits in this series are 1/32.
