Italians are famous for many things: great food, red wine, expensive silk suits, incurable passion and romanticism, and last but not least, sleek and fast supercars. The Lamborghini Diablo VT is no exception to this last category, and the 492h.p. V-12 engine is truly a testament to the outstanding design and engineering from my brethren from the “boot country”.<\/span><\/p>\n

For the Modeler: I discovered as I began this build, and this was verified later, that this kit’s tooling started life as a snap kit, before being re-issued as a Level 2 glue kit. The snap kit has been excellently reviewed already in this forum, and I used many helpful notes from it while building this kit. Throughout the build, I reamed out contact point holes and tabs after painting them in order to enable me to test fit many parts before committing to their placement with glue. I highly recommend that the builder do the same.<\/span><\/p>\n

The more I worked on this kit the more impressed I was with its design and engineering in terms of parts fit and finish. Even though this particular subject matter is really not my cup of tea, I enjoyed it more and more as I went along with the assembly process. The only “major” issue with the kit itself was the rear bumper, and that ended up being a relatively easy fix. Any other issues were minor and not really worth mentioning, simply because there were so few of them. I do however HIGHLY recommend both this kit and its “snap” sister kit for both beginning and intermediate modelers, and in fact, this kit would make an excellent build for the beginner wishing to branch out into the world of glue kits. For all the above reasons I believe this kit merits a solid four stars out of five. And as we Italians would say…”manga!” (enjoy!) <\/span><\/p>\n
