Thank you James.
I suppose you refer to Cedric's car.
I came across his build only few weeks ago! I was astonished!
Livery is printed for my model.
I'm now working on cockpit and wings.
If you have any reference for the cockpit is very appreciated!
It is difficult to find any picture for this late season version...

Thanks everybody,
this support is really motivating me!

Comparing a picture of the test car for 1985 (rear wing with removed chandeliers - the small additional wings for extra downforce) I think that the overall shape is correct.

I'm now tracing lines for 2 colours livery using a paper template.

Red paint arrived yesterday so I'll give it a try very soon.

About the thin line that separates colours in the livery: i see that everybody use white colour.
In my opinion, looking at some pictures, it is a grey/silver colour in that particular period of the season.

You can see it is not pure white.
I will use a grey shade at first, lets see the result.

Hi,

Stunning!
I’m really impressed by that kind of workmanship: Building a perfect replica from... nothing! :shock:
