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

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

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

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
