thebavarian Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 (edited) This kit is from Aoshima. Photoetched parts and metal transfer stickers were included in this set. The color ist Lamborghini purple from Zero Paints. The rims first are painted with Alclad gloss black primer and after masking with Molotow liquid chrome. The glossy clear is a 2 component paint from Glasurit (paints for 1:1 cars). The I used micromesh till a grain of 12000 und polished with a machine. The car was finished in april this year.

thebavarian Posted July 31, 2022 Author Share Posted July 31, 2022 @mrm Aoshima prepared the doors to open them. But the material in the hinge is not very thigt and was broken at least. So I fixed them with white glue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy124 Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 (edited) Hi Thomas, this Diablo looks very sweet, IMHO the GT is the perfect Diablo. I like the color, I have a jar of that same "mauve purple" paint from ZP on stock, probably to do a Diablo SV with it. I also like the way you did the clear coat. Many builders tend to "drown" the body and its panel lines in way too much/ too thick paint layers, yours looks just right. What's the reason you don't display the awesome 6 litre V12 engine? Btw, there is a false release date printed on the label shown in the first image: for the GT, it should be 1999 instead of 1990... 😉 Edited August 3, 2022 by Tommy124 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1959scudetto Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Very nice model in a typical Lamborghini color - a Ferrari never would be accepted in such an extravagant color. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
