This is probably the must ugly Ferrari ( IMHO :-) but you had an interesting start on the model. I'm curious to see where you're heading with this!
The exhaust pipes look....serious!

Little update of my 512BB LM:

I remade the engine frame. I soldered brass rods together to make this.



Left my version, right the kit version:



Installed the frame:



Painted:



I also scratched the suspension. I used brass tubes with various sizes.

weird car, probably the most ugly decalsheet I've ever seen...how about another livery :-) ...but the car is brutal and your build looks very interesting. I have this one in my pile in 1/43 and the MFH kit...to be build somewhere in the far future.

One of my favorite IMSA machines of the 70's. It's phenomenal to see the level of detail you're putting into the build in 1/43rd. Keep it up!

small update: I finished the interior.

Seat: seatbelts are made from the material suplied in the kit, hardware is from Renaissance.



Interior: I've added a piece of the rollcage (sides) and wired the fire extinguisher.
