Fujimi's Diablo is ABS plastic. It's a better choice because of thin A-pillars. Fujimi Diablo kit is the best, with decent looking engine, good tires and wheels, better overall quality. Most importantly, the doors are separate. (It has to be.) It will built to a nice 2WD version, although some of their kit says VT.
Revell's snapper is surprisingly good, with complete engine details and good interior details etc. It suffers some critical quality factor, such as wavy and thick clear parts, but the kit is worth the money just for the engine. Revell also has the roadster version, but this doesn't have the engine.
Italeri is not so bad, but the body profile lacks aggressive appearance to my taste. (doesn't mean it's bad) Only Italeri has the late version, with fixed headlights, which Lamborghini borrowed from Nissan 300ZX. AMT kit is probably the cheapest, but it's the poorest Diablo kit of all.
I recommend Fujimi, and if you can find the Revell kit cheap, use the engine for Fujimi.
