Thanks for the vote of confidence, I'll do my best!
This will be chassis 055/81, which was Pirroni's 81 Monaco car (it finished that race second). It was then re-chassied to 126C2 specification for Gilles to race in South Africa in late January 82. As you say it's an early car with the bulky rear suspension and no front wing. The car did not finish the race, retiring on lap 7 with a blown turbo. The chasis was not raced again.

It will be sprayed in Ford Radiant Red which I think is about the right shade for Ferraris of this age. They seem to have got much brighter over the years, as the modern Malboro cars are almost orange. As for brand it'll be Halfords spray can decanted into an airbrush jar I suspect.
