1/43 High Detail Scratch-Built Enzo

I have noticed a lot of discussion regarding the 1/18 BBR Enzo so thought I would share a 1/43 version. I had one of my builders do this for a client who owns a 1:1 Enzo in black with red interior. This one is built using a resin BBR Enzo kit as a base and then the builder cuts open the doors and engine cover and adds hinges. Getting the doors to operate like this is a serious challenge. The chassis of the kit is then modified to accommodate the mostly scratch-built engine. Keep in mind this is only 4" long. He has also done many versions of the F40LM in both race (Pilot and Shell) and prototype. This is my first time trying to add links so hopefully this works.

Alan, nice surprise to see a familiar friend! I should have joined a long time ago, lots of fun discussions on this site. The Enzo was built by Veloce43 for a client. I just shipped it on Friday. The next one will be a high detail F40 street done in Swaters Blue with red seats to match his real one. I hope to get pictures of the real car as I have never seen a blue F40.

Looks like it's better than MR's.....and the door's openings are much more larger than 1/18 BBR's Enzo. Very nice...

While it's not Swaters Blue at all, it is a blue F40.
