only another Enzo :-)))

Well, I do not really want to drive this thread away from its topic, but basically I plan to build a superdetailed version with S27 PE set, wiring, plumbing, and a whole bunch of C/F decals so far - any other suggestions?

that's basically what I was going to do, except I might use Acu Stion's kit instead, as I have it coming. I will add seatbelts to the seats, i Could use some tips on wiring and plumbing if you don't mind, I have the references to do it, just don't know how or what materials to use.

What color are you going to paint it? Mine will be in metallic blue.

I don't think this is off topic, we are talking about the same model afterall.

Got a link where I can take a look (or buy, which is better!) that Acu-Stion set?
Wiring... I'll share my secrets in exchange for the pics! :-) j/k
Basically I will study all the pictures, and after assembly and painting all main parts (engine block, headers, cam covers, distributors, etc) I will clamp a smallest drill bit in my pin vise and start drilling - EVERYWHERE! You see the wire coming out of the panel - drill a hole there, you see a hose coming out of the radiator - drill a hole, etc. It helps sometimes to draw a sketch of the engine and draw all the wiring that you will do, and follow if. I use Detail Master wires of different colors and gauges for all my wiring, not because I prefer them for any reason, I just happen to have a whole bunch of them lol.

Not decided on the color yet. Black?

For the plumbing and all the detail work it would be good to find really good pictures of brakes, suspension, really close-up pics of engine components, etc. If any of you know where to get these - please share the info!

hey guys that is exactly what i want to do !!
some tips

- I used 0,14 0,2 and 0,3mm wires thats a good match for the scale !!
- Use 1/43 carbon decals they look much better because the 1/24 are
not fine enough if you do everything in carbon look!!
- The Acustion detail sets are very very expensive !!!! here is the link
click (http://www.interq.or.jp/japan/acustion/)
I used the Studio27 detail set! i think its enough only some things are
good from the acustion set !!

I have a sketch from the engine with most of the wires and close up of the brakes (small but good :-))) ) and some close ups!!! Its in a german car magazine !!! but i cant scan it !! sorry !!!
You can look at my enzo for more details :D :D !! I'll add more wires and Cf decals in the evening or at the weekend !!!

It's not off Topic !!!!! :D :cool:


PS.: sorry for my bad english. I'am from Germany

WOW, this Acu Stion set is amazing! Anyone knows good source to get one here in US? or, and of Acu-Stion ferrari details sets for that matter?

wow, how can i missed this thread !!!!
nice work, nice reference pics , all good !!!
For myself i wait for the higly detail kit of SMS (with a Up Close & Mechanical Photo CD), and i pray for tamiya to release a Clear version ;-)

i ordered the acu stion enzo from http://www.racingresin.com/products/acu_stion/acu_stion.htm

it's not on the site, but he does have it in stock, as well as acu stion F40 & F50

PS.: The red isn't so dark !! It's a bit dark outside!! bad wheater !!

Coming along very nicely. Any problems with panel fit?

No all parts fits perfect !!!

nice paint job

Stunning work!

I am still amazed by your work.

Are you going to paint the wheels, if so, what color? I wouldn't paint them chrome, because they aren't chrome in real life, more like a dull aluminum??

They should be a fine metallic silver, then clear coated with an acrylic clear so they won't turn grayish. :)

Why dun chu just leave the trims alone
They look good straight from the box

That would be incorrect, everything else he has done looks very realistic. The real cars wheels are painted silver and clear coated. :)

Awesome job!!!! :) Bloody awesome!

stunning work ...simply amazing :)

Absolutely stunning work! What kind of paint/brand did you use to spray the body with?

Looks great :flash:

so time for the next update!! The Rear Bumper is finished and the window sides are painted black!! They turn out ok!! There are still some dust particels (for example from polishing....) on the car but those disappears still :D :cool:!!! The color sees in the sun a little orange but only "real" Ferrari red is like that!!! only the side body at the rear must be painted ( i messed up one part but i have already replacement parts :smoka: :smoka: )so here are the pics !!

Will you be entering it in the Teen Comp??
Brian

Yes Brian :D this one will be my car for the Teen Comp :cool: :cool: !!! I hope "she" has a chance !! :smoker2:

Seems that most of the people who are building or have built the Enzo did a very good job.

the PE Wiper !!! The original tamiya wiper is trash against the Wiper from Studio27!!

I build and build .... it needs time :flipa: :flipa: !!! I think one week and its finished !!! Today i painted the hood and the rear sides !!!

amazing.

question, it looks like you put carbon fiber decals onto this piece, or is that just the reflection? that part is not carbon fiber on the real enzo, as you probably know :sun:

http://files.automotiveforums.com/uploads/582434deckel2.JPG

Yes i know ;) its only the refelction !!there are no carbon decals!!

sry it was my fault :rolleyes:

nice shine on it:D

:eek:

Man Dennis this Car is DOOOOPE!!!

so the rear sides are primed !! they need a rub with 2000 sandpaper and then painting red ...... !!! As you can see the radiator pipes for one side are finished !!!

http://foto.arcor-online.net/palb/alben/88/52588/6166653332383432.jpg

I have not much time for modelling at the moment but i hope i can finish the model soon .....:rolleyes:

Yup, engine is great... hoping mine will look that nice. It's a shame to duck this babe under the hood in this clostrophobic engine bay.

My Enzo isn't started yet... waiting for the STUPID TAMBOURIN to send me the missing parts in the box !!! So to avoid any problem, I didn't open the inside bags... It's a real pain to see it like that on the shell.

STUPID TAMBOURIN.

PS, I'm thinking to buy me another one and let the motor outside of the second one... kind of a Ferrari building factory diorama.
