My second of 2 attempts at super-detailing/refinishing a model car in about 12 years.
Enzo
I managed to get a hold of one of the Carrera Enzo's - and it has superb detail - but I was quite dissapointed with the red plastic finish. So I refinished it in Tamiya Italian Red. It was quite a job masking the bandges and disassembling the car for the paint job.
I am sorta satisfied with it - but a couple specs of dust crept onto the nose as I was doing the clear coat and it is in too precarious of an area to risk rubbing the car down again and possibly damaging the note emblem.

Finished (minus mirrors)

The next 3 cars are going to be a 360CS, an F40LM and an F50GT.
