battery was painted and decalled i made battery holder i added some details with metal pins for cable connection abs unit. brake lines were replaced with 0.6mm flexible wires i put some rivets and made electric cable with small shrink tube and 0.3mm plastic rods.. that's all for today.. thank you for looking

just small update. the biggest part of the kit, filling up some seam lines and some modification.. i am thinking of full-carbon monocoque but i'm not sure i'm capable of it holder from hobbydesign's p/e set - 7 pieces of part on each holder there's strange hole on each side for door fix but i filled it up with magnet and covered with glue that small magnet does not have enough force for holding door so i will add bigger magnets later after priming, i found some flaws and marked 'em for correction it is time consuming and boring work but i think those small works make the model with better quality later.. brake booster.. cut the part out for painting painted with gold+silver and put metal pipe added t2m metal parts and pins for cables.

Thank you for your suggestion joe. That's exactly what I did. I put some magnets at the bottom part of the door. But the top is too thin to put them on so I fixed the top with metal rod... looking for the place to put magnets is a little bit tricky. I'll explain how I did it with pictures later

wow... i dont know what to say.. this is the best build i've ever seen in my life!!

thanks guys for your kind comments and sorry for the late update. been busy dealing with life it's been a while but not much progress so far.. because figuring out the solution for the door problem took me so long.. here's the 1/12 enzo's most disappointing problem... it is tamiya's engineering problem.. the upper part of the door is too thin to make the right shape i tried kind of everything i could.. reassembling.. regluing.. this thing had to be done so i can move to the monocoque.. it was pain in the ass! but i've figured it out.. holding doors with metal rod, i could finally make it look normal.. i was too happy and tired to take photos of the work... i took doors and panels away now to work on the monocoque.. i'll explain it later with detailed photos.. Chris, Joseph.. i took some pictures for you.. these are metal pipes and pin for wishbone joint i made.. modelup is the hobby shop in korea they have lots of useful stuff... you'd better check it out - www.modelup.co.kr this is the front wishbone and i had to bore up the hole a little.. but it's not a big deal i hope you guys are satisfied..

completed calipers with rotor.. next step will be battery and front suspension... thank you for watching..

painted pads and put mounting bolts the spring has some tension.. so no glue needed i made valves by the side.. they don't look like real ones but i'll just let it be that way (took too much time on calipers) caliper is completed.. hand brake caliper is done as well. those pins at the bottom are for rear caliper.. and i cut out part that holds upper wishbone because.. looks no good.. so i made the joint with metal pipes and pins

see those things inside red circles? -> yes, they are caliper mounting bolts.. and how is the caliper supposed to be mounted on that position?? i thought i assembled wrong but.. sorry for lousy pic if you look carefully... even the manual shows the mounting bolts in the front. it's quite disappointing that $300 premium kit has this kind of flaw.. so i cut it out without thinking how to put it back on... yes.. this is how it is supposed to be... then i started trying to make calipers more realistic.. using side of p/e sheet, i made caliper springs.. 90% satisfied.. but need more adjustment connection pipe was made with metal pipes, plastic rod and brass line painted and applied decal... i'll post rest of photos few hours later.. gotta go to sleep ~ good night

hi guys, thank you for your kind comments i really appreciate them:) i've already done some progress but it took some time to pick up photos out of my phone.. (they were mixed with with others and it was like finding a needle in a haystack..) anyway.. rear sub frame was painted with tamiya's metallic grey.. double wishbones were made of white metal parts... looks more realistic than plastic i was thinking of changing rear axles to metal rod... but the original parts look fine to me so, i just painted by the manual. hobbydesign's brake disk set.. 9~10 layers of thick etching parts are supposed to be glued together comparing the original part with nice shiny p/e parts painted with gunmetal and matt coating.. those who want to build enzo with this set need to be careful not to lose any of those small rivets.. each set needs 10 rivets but only 41 rivets are in the package.. every time small rivets and screws just pop out of my tweezer, i never found it... do i think those are worth $50? well, they are good in detail and heavy enough for me to feel like real ones but i think it is a bit over-priced... $25~30 would be fine i was looking for disks and found this pic... oh..i should not have seen this one of course THE tamiya provided nice detailed calipers... but i cut it out.. and left some for brake pads on each side

cf decals and clear coated....the ferrari logo is the original part.. it's easier to apply than hobbydesign's this is it for today.. i tried to post as many photos as possible.. hope you enjoy my build

this is the real car pic i found from google.. i dont know what it is called... but i made it with plastic rod and metal part in the small picture, the left one is the original part.. (sorry for rough pic..my phone is not good at close up photos) i airbrushed muffler with titanium silver and then over coated with clear orange and extra thinned black i used resin parts to make oxygen sensor.... sensor is applied

made another one... i think this one is better in quality... even though it will not be seen after covered with air box, looks much better than original part to me heat shield... fix it with metal rivet another heat shield by the transmission and i replaced hose joint with t2m metal joint since the rear part can be seen through rear bumper, i put gold metal pipe another metal hose joint...

i've recently started building enzo with hobbydesign's brake disk and photo etched set i'd like share my build with you guys and get some advice *since this is my first time starting a thread in english, i hope you dont mind my awkward sentences here's my progress 14 1mm rivets on each cover detail up started with air intake manifold. i made holes on top i put some metal electric plugs instead after painted with engine color, i attached small hex nuts btw manifolds and applied chrome tape-> sand it lightly with fine sandpaper to make it look like stainless steel fuel rail i made electro-injectors with duct spring and insulated wires with the engine part . bending thin wires in similar shape was not easy at all (it took almost 2 hours)
