Hello,
last conversion: McLaren M29C 1980.
Starting from the base Solido and with decals of Provence Moulage (actually for version B of the M29, the one that produced the spark for instance) I came to the C version, with no front wing as was fashionable in that year.
So in summary:

- Via mustache + painted white
- Added driver (with visor [;)] [;)]) + decals Prost (always in the sheet Provence)
- Decals fluorescent orange (above the red Solido that was not good)
- Sponsor decals + decals inside cockpit
- Add skirts
- Added pipes in the area of the rollbar and simulated with color metal fittings
- Added rollbar behind thedashboard (you can see behind the slide)
- Added nets under sidepods and above inlet trumpets
- Various paint jobs

reference photo (gp Austria should be ... and I liked it because in addition to being the C version, the one with the roll tube, not the closed triangle, like Spark model, the rear wing is with two wings like a model not one)



Result:



I put the next photo without the flash to make see the true color of the helmet, blue ..in other seems a little light blue



Here I put the model on a modified Mclaren's cardboard

Great work !

Splendid job

[Numéro26]

Great work !
Just 2 details I noticed : the name Alain Prost under the rollbar was written in black and not in white letters, and EAGLE on the tyres must be erased.
I have 2 Solido models to convert too ...

Nice conversion of this solido diecast

hi , thank you all.
Well, as far as it concerned the black written...yes i know....unfortunately i had only the white one in the Provence's sheets (probably in the near future i will try to create it). For the "eagle" written....i really didn't find a clear photo in which i can understand if there was or not

For the "eagle" written....i really didn't find a clear photo in which i can understand if there was or not

In 1980 Eagle was NOT written on any F1 Goodyear tyre. Sometimes on the photos there are some white markings but it's mechanics hand written inscriptions.
I think "Eagle" appears in 1985 on the Goodyear tyres.

Ok ,thank you! great shot! in that photo you can see another little defect in my conversion: the "castrol" is too big....this is another decal i want to replace as soon as possible.
