The book has arrived:
Based upon the reference pictures I have done a number of corrections and added a couple of new elements:
- trashed the whole middle section of the paintjob and reworked all shapes there, also went for a few fixes on the front and the rear fenders (in overall it is much more accurate and gives a nice, harmonic flow to the green shapes throughout the whole bodywork)
- the green shapes received their white outline
- added white spot right before the door
- recreated all Martini, Good Year and Bosch logos from the ground up
- finished the Martini International Racing Team text and logos on the back, plus added the Porsche logo there
- finally found a way to display the Bosch and Good Year logos on the sides in an acceptable quality and shape (it is never going to be perfect for the Bosch logo, texture distortion is extreme around the whole area, which made the process a vicious circle of try-fail-repeat and this was the best result so far)
- added yellow tint to side windows
- reworked the black color on the engine cover
- reworked the wood texture for the shifter knob to better match the look of the original material
To summarize, left side is 90% ready, only a few smaller issues left to fix until I can transfer the shapes to the right side as well, then I will return to the interior for one last double checking and color matching, so if all goes well release should be a real objective for this month.
