Ferrari Enzo - Tamiya - 1/24, update 4 29-03

Back in 2006 I bought this Enzo kit for a bargain on my vacation in Luxembourg. I kept myself saying that I would start building this one, till I was ready for it. I kept stalling and kept saying to myself that I need to build first this kit and then that kit and it kept going on.
But this last sunday I got some motivation and grew some cohoney's to start on it. What I want is to give myself in this kit, my full 100% without shortcuts. I always have stuff done on a build that is not to my satisfactory and I want to eliminate that element. So I will only work on this car when I want to, when I have the right motivation to build beyond my limits.

And so I started today, Basically the only thing I could do was glueing the engineparts together and cleaned up the left-exhaust. cost me 3-4 hours on just those few parts.


The bos:




Some of the extra parts I am going to use, I will use more aftermarket stuff, but that will appear later on.


The first parts of the engine doesnt need a whole lot of detailling other than adding the sand-texture.


I will sand off the detail on the backside and add a piece of wire.


Here I cut out a tube that was molded in, but didn't show up realistically, so I cut it out and will replace it with tubing.




The parts of the left-exhaust.


Because of some hard edges, I threw the parts in bleach and have the freedom to work with it.


In the upper connor was a bit of extra plastic molded-in, I cancelled that and filled it smooth.


The rear-axle will be replaced as well, this is the standard part....


...Which is going to be replaced with a piece of tubing and a turned metal part.
