| In my opinion similar to Western Models and SMTS, Lots of white metal and plated parts. |

Like he said, more in line with SMTS. It depends on who did the masters. The 1/24th kits have very accurate bodies, but have poor quality decals and horrible tires/wheels. Most of the 1/43rds are older so vary in quality.

I am replacing my diecast F1 Classic models for handbuilts. (500F2, D50, D246, D156, F156/158)
So better go for Heco's, SRC, Tameo or Mg Model Plus??

Tameo or Heco are the best, if they made the cars you are looking for. MG avoid in my opinion, other than a few of the 1/12th scale models. They are good to deal with but the models are toy like. I have a few SRC kits and they can also be pretty good sometimes.

| SRC are OK, less refined. I would say Tameo are the best for F1. The SRC are basically SMTS now. I have built a lot of SRC and they are correct but as I said less refined, i.e minimal pe parts and even less [if any] machined parts. |

| Do not discount all of K&R ,s models.In the main the body,s are quite accurate.I have always used them as a "base" for a project,adding better quality wheels etc,and with some work they can be made into excellent models.They also have a lot subjects not made elsewhere. The 1/24th D type Jaguar can with some work be made into a great replica (I have built many) |
