I heard only the worst about this FXX. I almost got special limited version with carbon plate but I am happy now that I not bought it. Itīs not worth that much money. Hope I found one with low price 8)

^^^ I think you know this:
There's 3 types of quality now. low, with no side windows and simply cheap model, then medium, which is this one and high that you metioned on the C/F plate. I think this medium quality is really great and it surpriced me a lot in the positive way of meaning . the paint is great, built quality aswell... don't know what you've heard... ... I can recomend it, but will paint those wheels BLACK

Normal FXX


Elite FXX


Elite Special Edition

Impressions by raidou: The gaps are horrible (the front hood does not close flush), painting is to thin (the color looks brighter on edges), printing is not accurate (white stripe on the nose is crooked), the interior is like Welly-level, brake discs are made of cheap plastic (F40 and Enzo have metal discs) and the engine looks dull as well...so thatīs what I heard.

well, the paint is ok on my model, gaps are ok, even when compared to Aa model, engine bay looks ok to me, but yes, it could be better and those breake discs are cheap . Mattel has still a lot to learn from Aa, but the quality is still much better than "stock" enzo... for me, it's nice looking model which I would recommend

Thatīs your opinion. I changed HW Enzo as fast as it was possible and bought BBR. Ferrari models are important for me 8)

since my brother sold the studio, I had no place where to do my "photoshoots" with my models. so I decided to make my own "home-studio". it's not as pro as my brother's, but it's enough for me
this is how it looks like and the first picture of the FXX on photoshoot

Nice studio work Mihals.

Do you have any pannings of it

Don't you miss the UK when it comes to car hunting ?


Cheers

I have to wait till my parents get back from holidays. then I can ask someone to push the car to do a panning shots

Do I miss UK and cars? :cry: YES :cry:

in my town I only saw (from those more interesting):
Chevy SSR
E46 M3
SL55 AMG
and that's it :bah:
fortunatelly I'm still busy and next week I start my work, so there's no time to think about car hunting... But still, DAMN I MISS IT!!! :bah:
