New Project...Diablo Koenig

I started the sanding job on the Diablo...After inspecting all the parts I decided not to use the kits wheels because they're too small and will be replaced with 18's.
I'm also going to modify the brake disks and build a separate engine using the Revell kit to display it next to the finished Diablo

I agree the rims look a bit ... ... to me too.

Looks like a very nice model!
what colour are you going to make it ?

And I assume it has got no engine whatsoever , right ?

Then why is the back opened ?

It does have an engine except it's not too detailed...The car will be painted ether Tamiya Gunmetal or Deep Metallic Blue

Nice kit! I've built a couple of the Fujimi Diablos and have used the Revell kit to source many parts. Mainly the wheels. Revell did a bang up job on 'em.

Cool model. The rims don't look too bad.

I think Fujimi wheels can be made quite nice with some paint & decaling. I painted the centres silver and gave the rims a light wash with thinned black to bring out the rim nuts. I don't know what's the size of Revell wheels, but the diameter in Fujimi rears is 27mm and 25mm in front wheels.



All I need now is a new set of body parts to make a complete Diablo... (original body got destroyed with paint stripper )

As far as the fujimi engine is concerned, it's pretty much crap right from the box.

I added the following to spiff things up a bit.

Scratch built throttle linkages and photoetched throttle bodies, fuel lines, wired engine, complete plumbing with p/e clamps, scratch built ducts, custom made decals and other misc. wiring and photoetched details.

Even so, it still looks sparse . . .
