David Thibodeau Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Again a detailed build using the new Scale motorsport Super FXX Carbon upgrade kit. Well worth the effort.... I decided to leave the wheels off to display the gorgeous brakes....... Scratchbuilt and added items: Lap counter on dash, Pro tech braided line and fittings, Removed rear window molded in vents and replaced with black mesh.

Raul_Perez Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 This was an awesome build to watch!! Thanks for sharing!! As good as the pictures are, I suspect that they don't do this build adequate justice. Amazing!! Later, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Lombardo Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Just beautiful.....perfection in scale. A gentleman in the town where my business is has an Enzo (just a boring regular red one, yeah right, boring!). The sound that it makes as it goes by is almost as impressive as the sight ( I see it maybe 3 times in the spring and summer as he does not drive it very much ). These vehicles are truly stunning and your build does the car justice. The carbon fiber decal installation is "spot on"....It is your usual "surgically perfect" build.....Very impressive.

RadRidesByDan Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Im speechless on this masterpiece WOW!!!!! I have a hard time putting on simple decals and here sits this beautiful carbon fiber car.....Do you use any special products to apply the decals and do you try to put the decals on in as many large pieces as possible or is it easier to put smaller pieces and try to match the seams?

Mike1357 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I'm absolutely speechless. This car is absolutely amazing and as a huge fan of the CF look I give you another compliment. To obtain that level of detail with decals is mastery of the art. WONDERFUL piece of work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernard Kron Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 (edited) Stunning! Is it the effect of Carbon Fiber which makes this come off as one of your best builds ever? In any case, it's a masterpiece! Edited January 31, 2009 by gbk1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the Jan issue of model cars there is an article all on Carbon fiber decals I wrote that will answer all your questions you need to know about carbon decals, sizes, application, clear, etc.... watch for it! Thanks again guys... this one will show up as a full build in MC sooner or later as well! DaveT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But unfortunately we dont have anyone that I know here to get MCM model car magazines in Alberta. Ive looked everywhere and the closest places that i can get my hands on it is in Vancouver BC, ...or Regina Saskatchewan.....and either way Im not going to drive 8 to 12 hours up and 8 to 12 hours back for a $14.00 magazine. I have a modeller friend that has answered most of my questions on another site. Dan Edited February 2, 2009 by RadRidesByDan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
