first engine!:eek2: looks great:)

That looks awesome. Im thinking the colour of the extractors could have been like a blue/bronxe colour, to give it the Titanium look.

BRAVO!!!

OMG. that is amazing!! looks like you got the photo-etch kit as well.
Great work man. Thats amazing. I wish my first engine came out like that. i'll post pick when i get a camera.

thanks for the comments all!

koffee, what part of the car do you mean? the tinfoil? if it was blue/bronze it would be unrealistic but i did paint my calipers red and that's unrealistic, but i think it looks better :sun:

Thats a nice looking engine. What type of decals did you use for the carbon ? Or did you paint it on using Tamiya's way ?

Nice job

Thanks. I used scale motorsports' 1/43 pewter carbon fiber decals and Solvaset , a decal setting solution!

The exhaust man.

Your Enzo flew past my Enzo :D Excellent! ;)

Great work! Do keep us updated.

Great effort for your first engine.
Can you tell us what is going on with the tin-foil look on the exhaust :confused:

very good !!!!

Looking very nice. Nice wiring!
You just needed to remove some molding lines and pin marks.

:)

Nice work.
Very true to the 1:1.
Some antiqueing/weathering on the exhaust pipes would make it look more realistic IMO.

PMan - the foil heat shields are on the 1:1 Enzo

Not usually :p

how you guys can get that carbon fiber decal in the cam heads, and the intake.
i always either break it, or ends up being too much :(

It's another awesome build-up from an awsome modeler from an awesome car ! Props to you, you're doing a great job !

Olivier;)

thanks Olivier!!! :ylsuper

DavidG, try to cut the decal close enough in size and use a decal setting solution and a paintbrush to try to help the decal move into place and then let the solution do the rest!!
