    For my 31st birthday (today!) my wife gave me a Revell 1:24 scale plastic model kit of the Enzo.

    I'm toying with different thoughts on how to paint this baby up!

    I'm leaning towards yellow, almost considered FXX scheme......

    They recommend Aluminium, Flat Black, Gloss Red, Semigloss Black, Silver or Satin Red.

    Please post photos or send links to photos of real Enzos (1:1 scale!) to help me decide or even photoshop ideas.

    Here is the model:

    Thank you!

    Tamiya do a lovely pearlescent white in their spray cans. I'm working on a 1/18 Testarossa Convertible in that colour at the moment. Looks great.

    Pearl white is not a favourite of mine on cars but it was what i was going to recommend and then i saw the others had recommended it too so theres you're answer.

    There is the debate on how many real Enzo's got produced in this colour, 1 or 2? Nobody really knows due to the fact it looks so similar to the silver sometimes, causes a whole load of arguments!

    Other than that, go for the candy apple red (does not exist in real life on a real Enzo but a photoshop i saw looked gorgeous, nicest i had seen).

    I'm firm on the pearl white now......its decided and paint ordered.

    I was thinking about an FXX but too many modifications to a stock model kit I am not that advanced of a model maker! Sorry!

    I saw the AA bubble white Gallardo, I think it would look nice on Enzo also...

    I've built couple of Tamiya ones with various degrees of detail in yellow and red - check my website italianhorses.net if interested. I think yellow or black should look great.
