haha i see TT is getting into it. its fun, i know how much it costs and the rest
i think its says bright red...TS-49 if i'm not mistaken. use grey primer to get that italian red. the italian red they suggest is too red! almost like blood.
also tamiya has a guide on how to paint. also ifyou have a airbursh should try to make burnt exhaust colours.
did you get the new kit with CF decals? if not tamiya shows how to do it.
another thing you should of got is the studio 27 upgrade kit if its available. if not get it online. photoetched parts just make it that bit more real

there are two primers...grey and white. translucent colours should use white. however "bright red" from tamiya doesn't really give the red you want so by using the grey primer it should get close.

Will try that , i just checked Towerhobbies.com for the car , and the Enzo is by far the most Expensive , 42 dollars , you can get the f50 for 20 and the F40 for 17.99 , so i think im going to buy some :shock:

try getting it from japan
www.hlj.com
if i can't get it in hong kong i get it here. i'm not sure how it compares to your country but compared to australia its a lot cheaper even after paying postal and credit fees.
the f50 and f40 are cheap obvioulsy because they are old kits

Actually the red is the TS-8, called italian red  and the result on the already red body isn't that bad
As for airbrush and trying to go that far into details, I'm not really up to it 
Upgrade kits... uhm... never seen them around here and for a come back into models building, I prefer not to overdo
Ah and no, no CF decals in my kit.. let's see if I can find the tutorial you are talking about.. do you have an url?

my kit is still in the box so i can't remember which colour, but from experience italian red isn't close compared to bright red.
actually photoetched parts help the inexpereinced. coz all you do is stick em on
i thought you would of got the newer kits. newer kits have CF decals which i forgot to get my hands on whilst i was in HK.
ok tamiya server is slow atm. just goto www.tamiya.com goto either japan or america (both english). somewehre down the bottom has "assembly tips". anymore questions you can ask me.

TT - it is looking great!!
I "hated" building Tamiya kits (I built Tamiya motorcyle models for customers in the late '80's and early '90's) - as the details are so good , it is a shame to have to hide them under the bodywork...
That Enzo is screaming out to be built into a diorama with about 10 other cars (Enzo's) on a production line in various stages of completion....
