Which Lamborghini Diablo is better?

[JE123]

I would like to add a Diablo to my up and coming collection of exotics. I know there is a limited number of companies that have released a Diablo kit. I know that Fujimi has one and Revell has a snap-tite kit. Anybody have a pic of the Revell kit? I tried to access their web-site but it won't come up. I would like to know how much detail it has (like opening doors, viewable engine bay, interior details). From the pics on HLJ I can see that the body for the Fujimi is Resin and it has doors that open.

The Fujimi Diable is a better way to go. The body is made out of styrene plastic, not resin. The kit, however, does employ resin like material for some of the interior pieces. It doesn't have a full engine, but hood opens to reveal top half of engine. Kit also has opening doors, which are hinged by metal wires. Interior full detailed, as is chassis. Its one of Fujimi's better offerings, despite not having full engine and exhaust detail.

I might have to pic that one up from HLJ later on in the year. I have to many to do right now.

I just ran a search on hlj and three diablos came up that I am interested in.

They have the first one for sale on ebay. I don't know if I should buy it or not.

Thats weird....I thought the body was styrene. Sure feels like it. Interior parts feel different, though.

Did you get the first one listed? If so do you have any pics of it?

I got the first one, which is Fujimi's Diablo "VT" kit

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.

In my opinion, the best model of the Diablo made by AutoArt in 1/18 scale,in all aspects.
