Well I'm very excited today. I finally got my 1/12 Enzo kits from Japan. I'll be posting my progress throughout the build in this thread... So if you're interested please stop in anytime. Suggestions are welcome as well. I can't even decide on a color yet. That's ok because I still have to finish other projects anyway. I sold a lot of my rc cars to get this guy.
My first impression upon opening the box was beyond my expectations. This kit is OVER 650 parts... Yikes... Gonna be a long yet well planned build... Hopefully haha. Well packaged and highly detailed. Has PE kit, metal suspension arms, tools and screws. Has two sets of seats, massive instruction manual, great decal kits and all the vinyl tubing in multiple sizes to do all the details. Let me know if anyone interested wants any additional photos or details. I'll be adding photos shortly. Thanks

Wow, looking forward to this one. As for colour its got to be Red, right, I don't think they make Ferrari's in any other colour do they?  Lots of pics please Gag |

Lots of pics please Gag I'm doing some research ...not 100% sure but I believe when you buy an Enzo they'll paint it whatever color you want. Otherwise, they do produce them generally in Red, black and yellow. |

This is probably the finest kit Tamiya have released, its a work of art so I'm in for sure Moose, I will get one myself sometime and that's a promise, once I have my 1:1 scale car paid for. Haha...that's the truth...i know where you're coming from |

I'll measure them in a few minutes. I stalled on the GT500 because I may be able to fab the Enzo plastic rotors to the GT500...

Had to redo the headers... They look really blued because I'm waiting for some more Alclad Hot Metal to brown it up a little. I'm trying to match the photos of the real car as best as I can Got the wiring done as well Attachments:
