Main body cover is complete now, clear coated, sanded and polished.I'm essentially happy with the result of scratchbuilding and painting. There are no scares left from cutting and plastic inserting in the original Tamiya part. Soma details like new mirrors, wind shield, fastener of the fuel cap etc.are missing. And i hope it will fit to the body without tension.

this is an awesome project , you make it great ! I'm speechless . Not a big deal, but I'm sorry to tell you made a mistake on the smokey logos.
Between 1989 and 1990 the Marlb** logos grew up ! You probably used the 1990 ones ...
Onto the nose, the Marl** logo was smaller than the Agip one. Smaller also onto both sides

The conversion is finished for some times, but I shot the last pictures today.
Thanks for looking and all the correcting hints to improve the conversion. If I had known some month earlier that MFH will release that car, I would not have started the project, because it needed great effort to finish.
Weil see us in the next WIP: Ferrari 643 in 1/12.
Thank you and regards,
ferrarissimus
