Tamiya FXX K
This one was built out of box (with the addition of Tamiya's extra-cost carbon decals and photoetch, both recommended for a better finished product) for the October, 2016 issue of Scale Auto Magazine.
I did however alter the color scheme slightly, I used TS-95 Pure Metallic Red with a single airbrushed coat of transparent red over it. So sue me...a Mazda color on a Ferrari As expected, the model goes together pretty well. There's some bodywork required, door fit isn't spectacular, and the kit really should have KERS wiring and boxes. It's a complicated mold so bodywork is not going to be avoided. Enjoyed it enough I'll be building the white #55 car at some point.

Re: Tamiya FXX K
Looks good, Bob! I just started the engine on mine, and I'm adding wiring. I'm still torn between metallic red like yours or TDF blue. I ordered the Studio 27 decals as well, because there's at least one decal Tamiya left out - the Italian flag decal you see on the front of some cars just ahead of the hood vent. They left it out of course because #10 doesn't have it. I do wish Tamiya included numbers other than 10, but maybe they knew the aftermarket would step in.

Re: Tamiya FXX K
Fantastic looking build! Immaculate as ever, and I expect it's a great kit to built. But I'm still trying to convince myself that it's a good looking car. Why must the era of beautiful Ferraris be over...?
No question- do it in TDF. It's the only color that the Enzo looked really good in- hopefully this one will also.

Re: Tamiya FXX K
Looking great in this color. Saw this beast earlier this year in Museo Ferrari in Maranello on my trip to Italy. Awesome car.

Re: Tamiya FXX K
Awesome finish and great pictures!
I will definitely do mine in blue, but it will take a while until it will be finished.
