Micha,
If you have built an Enzo, you will so soon discover the fit tolerances on the kit is ZERO. Once you carbon fiber the inside cover, and the side pods in the engine bay,and clear them... this is going to happen. Believe me... the car will RARELY be displayed with the engine cover closed.... not with all the work I put into it.

Thanks for all the replies guys!!!!

Exactly my opinion, it would be a shame to display the model closed. Why not building a model closed (no interior detailling) in a different colour standing it next to this beauty ...

Not a bad idea!! But the thought of gluing the doors and trunk shut..... I dont know if I could do it.....

The kit is a superb kit, but the trunk could have fit better, and I think the car could sit a tad bit lower.... but other than that, Tamiya nailed this one.... If I build another one, I think I will grind the inside of the hatch on both sides before paint and it should widen the non-existent tolerances....

Another awesome build from you Dave . I have one of these going right now but it will be no where near this detailed. I'll use the Tamiya PE set but it'll be lucky to get any CF decaling...

I have no doubt it will be super clean though Eric.. one nice thing about the PE set is all the mesh is the exact size of the appropriate openings... no cutting up mesh!!!! I cant wait to see yours...

Thanks again all of you....

Great looking results.

Regarding the engine cover fitment, I found that the inner fenders and the open vents in the engine cover itself have interferences and need to be shaved down to get the cover to fit properly.

And that probably would not look to good... I remember having a conversation in 2004 with you about yours and that was one of the reasons you closed yours up.

Thanks!!!

Looks great Dave. I just put the engine cover on my Enzo so I know where your at. Nice to see an FXX finished, was starting to think they were unbuildable.

If anyone can build an unbuildable, it's Dave.
Said it before, I'm loving this car! Great job!
