Grigio Medio Enzo

I have an FXX I’d like to build (in red) so I thought I’d do a dry run with the standard Enzo kit first just to see how it goes together.

There are no Grigio Medio Enzo’s (yet?). But I thought it would look good since the 458 and 430s I’ve seen look nice. I used Ocean Gray as a facsimile. I’ve already started painting and assembling the body.

I used cigarette foil for the heat shield material.


I know the interior should be carbon fiber from the factory, but I decided to “carpet” it with some old Testors tan that dries dead flat and coarse.
To complement the tan I went with a Chamois color for the upholstery.

All the lights have been installed into the rear fascia and the doors are done.

Re: Grigio Medio Enzo

I dunno about that. Just something to work on between dry times on a larger project.

I decided semi-gloss black would look better than chrome or silver for the wheels.

Re: Grigio Medio Enzo

In my opinion, it will be. I learn something from every build you create. That means a LOT!!

That is very kind of you to say. That means a lot to me. Thank you.


I textured the cam covers before painting them red.

Looking great!
It's a fantastic kit to build
Only drama I found was the rear hatch not fitting/closing very well

Keep it up!

Brakes and the rear body section. I replaced the Ferrari lettering on the calipers with my own since they needed to be black to go with the yellow.

Thanks!

The front (and most of the rear) suspension are installed as well as the main bulk of the engine.
