Revell Enzo progress pics..

Hope you guys aren't tired of enzos yet. Here Is one from Sweden !
Started on a Revell Enzo kit. It was half the price of the Tamiya so I thought I'd give it a try. I mean, how bad can it be right ?
Well the fit is nowhere a tamiya, and the parts need some trimming to fit right, but the detail level is very good so for that price it's a bargain.
Here are the first pics. The seats unfortunatley had moulded-in seatbelts, so I cut those away. Will make separate belts later.
The logo on the cylinder heads was made by applying bare metal foil and paint with black, and then carefully rub off the black on the raised letters.
This is also my first kit with an airbrush and my first blackwash ever on an engine aswell.. *nervous* :smile:

Ser bra ut. Jag lyckades aldrig få någon av de två Enzo som jag köpte klar, hoppas du lyckas bättre.

Kul med en till från Sverige här, vart bor du?

wow that looks pretty good for a revell

That looks really cool !! Jag är från Finland och jag prata också svenska. Nice to see other people from here North ! :evillol:

wow, those seats look damn nice!

Looks great!! Det var fler svenskar här än jag trodde, alltid roligt :bigthumb:

Håller själv på med en Enzo, en Tamiya, som inte är så rolig att måla, ganska jobbig faktiskt.

Nice! En "Swede" till! Kul att vi alla hittar hit. Try to drybrush your engine with silver over the edges, and it will look perfect!

That looks good. Nice work so far. Keep us posted on the build, and keep us posted on the quality of the kit.

Have carried on with the engine.
The headers are treated with a little tamiya clear orange to get that heated look. Thinking of adding a little clear blue aswell.

that engine looks awesome!!!

also for the people who speak swedish (i think) can u write the stuff in engish too cuz i only speak english and spanish

Have been working on the rear subframe today.
phew..The fit is not perfect so you need to do quite some test-fitting to get it together.
An example: Part A fits to part B. Part B fits to part C, and Part C fits to part A, but surpirse ! They dont fit together all three of them. Very fun when you have painted them all up nicely... :mad:

Otherwise it coming along fine i think. Added some heat wrapping (BMF) to the exhaust after looking at a lot of photos of 1:1 enzos.

wow thats lookin great

Everythings looking awsome! How much was the Kit? might have to Pic 1 up. and the Orange/Blue clear on the engine :naughty: NICE touch!

I paid around 230 SEK = 32$ for it in the local hobbyshop here in stockholm. But I've seen it cheaper on the internet, but then its shipping to be added.. Probably it's cheaper outside of sweden. The Tamiya Enzo for reference was over 55$ over here...

In Italy Enzo by revell cost 20 Euro... around 20$

every thing looks amazing! cant wait to see this done.

Great work so far! Your valve covers look amazing; sweet job with the foil there!! :D

excellent! cant wait to see it finished, show us the body :)

Today I have done some test fitting of the body, finished the exhaust, the rear suspension and wheels.
The wheels and brakes are quite strangely made in this kit. The brake disc is "sandwiched" between the two halves of the rim. Haven't seen that before but I guess it works..
The rotors are painted with a mix of flat aluminum and flat black to look like the carbon/ceramic stuff they are made of.

are the front wheels poseable? i think i would still save up the extra pennies and get the tamiya enzo kit. would take longer to build too. but its looking good so far

:iagree: with Chris. but you are doing a great job. plus more kudos for making the more inferior kit (revell) look flawless so far. keep it up.
