++ Lamborghini Diablo Pics ++

Hi, had respray this car from silver to gun metal colour.. no more standard decals like lamborghini logo on this car coz i when stripping off the paint, the decals were strip off with badly condition which i was unable to put it back. I don't have the past photos of this Diablo but anyway enjoy the newly resprayed car.

This 1/24 Lamborghini Diablo VT is by Italeri. ;)

Hey 5ynergyx, that's a nice piece of restoration you've got there. I like the body colour. Good work dude!

Is'nt that a reboxed revell kit? Does it have an engine?

I'm building one too, but it has pop-up headlights and 20's :smoka:

It's the Revell Snap-Tite Lambotghini Roadster. It's in brake fluid as of now :( . But I'll have it finished ina while and I'm getting a digi-cam soon so you'll see my Lambo too :cool:
Yours has that serious look to it, mine is a bit more flamboyant... orange paint/20's :)

Nice

Just in case someone is considering stripping paint off the Fujimi Lamborghini Diablo I recommend you to be very careful with the stripper you use! I destroyed the body of my Diablo by soaking it in brake fluid (or it might have been liquid plumber, can't remember for sure..). Anyway the plastic somehow reacted with the liquid and it went all soft and the surface turned completely white(the body was red plastic:confused: ). I've never seen such a reaction before (and I hope I don't have to see it ever again;)).

So test your paint stripper with a piece of sprue before you ruin your body like I did:(

what happened to the first paint job?

Looks great! Great Restoration.. But I couldnt help but notice your wheels are sitting a little.... Off?

hi,
please, can you post another picture of your kit where i could see the wheels? I am not able to open the original images...
Thanks
