Thank you very much for your positive response.

Answers to your questions:

Kit base: Alfa models (Brazilian producer) March 711
Engine: base Tamiya DFV, detail parts scratchbuilt
Color: Royal blue, mixed in local car paint maker

Only the base of the original kit has been used (the main body), many other parts are scratchbuilt or aftermarket detail parts are used. The main body has been detailed with Modelfactory Hiro rivets, the cockpit hole has been widenet and modified, the hole for gear shift lever has been made.
The suspension is completely new, made from wire, the exhaust pipes are made from tin wire.
Decals are newly printed, as the originals were crap, with graphic not very sharp and the decals material not very easy to work with. Unfortunately, my printer has problems with white, so the decals are not as good as intended
