Wow, the color looks totally different in these pics than it does in person! It's much darker and much more vivid in person...and I agree, after seeing it at our meeting the color is great on this model. Was also cool to go see the 1:1 Enzo at lunch on Monday. Still don't care for the red...but it was sweet. All that carbon fiber on the interior and engine intake was very shiny...every kit I've seen looks wrong in this regard. The C/F decals need to be painted and buffed w/a very thick, smooth coat of clear to look like the real thing. The C/F on the headlights was not shiny. Couldn't see the rest, it was closed up and roped off.
I just picked the Revell kit up at Hobby Lobby w/my 1/2 off coupon, can't complain at all about a $6.50 Enzo! I'll build my Tamiya Enzo w/all the goodies (but I doubt I'll do all that carbon fiber...decals wear me out). So the Revell kit may be a donor for engine/wheels for one of my SAS Stradale-body equipped Modena tuners.
I'm shocked how good the Revell kit is. It's 90% as good as the Tamiya kit. It's the first Revell AG kit that I've ever seen made in China...that's why the quality is so high. The Revell AG kits from Poland, Czechoslovakia, Italy and France suck by comparison. And at $6.50, it was 1/4 what I paid for my Tamiya Enzo at wholesale cost. Of course I've probably spent $60 on photoetch, screen, and machined detail parts. Since Ferraris are our club theme for 2004, that's when I'll build mine.
