Lamborghini Diablo widebody

[MarcelT4]

Good evening, everyone.

I'm starting a new build report. At first, I only wanted to modify the Revell kit with a widebody kit.

However, since the base doesn't include many details and the body is very simple, I decided to use 3D printing for everything I could.

Here are a few pictures of the original Revell kit and my optimized “fake.”

I'm curious to see whether the original or the fake will be better received.

Currently, the interior, dashboard, and various parts are still being printed.

Today, there are only printed parts again. None of the parts have been cleaned up or sanded yet. They have simply been removed from their supports.

The rear diffuser and hood already fit very well.

The front lip will simply be inserted at the front later.

Now for some parts from the interior.

And here they are put together.

And together with the roof.

So far, so good, but there is still a lot of work to be done on the computer.

I didn't create the 3D model entirely myself, but it has been refined and now needs to be made print-ready. In addition, everything has to be adjusted and created in such a way that it can be put together easily without major reworking.

Stay tuned.

This is very interesting! You are doing some amazing work on a very underrated kit.

Sweet! I like them both but ht e printed one sure look nice! I noticed that there seem to be bigger difference on the front window leading edge between the two, which is more accurate?

Hi, I think Revell simplified things a bit. I based my design on pictures I found on the internet.

The printed body also has a wider front. In my opinion, it looks more harmonious.

Last century I built the horrid AMT kit, and later the Fujimi which was okay for a curbside.  Interesting to see what 3D printing in capable hands can do.  Look forward to watching this! 😊

Impressive.
