It is getting there,
but the bottom profile needs a lot of additional material to create the correct angular shape.

I suppose it depends if you are aiming at "something like" or if you are aiming to satisfy the ocd purist squad.

In the end it is what appeals to you, that matters

I think plastic welding is going to be your friend here rather than using that much body filler.
