It looks like this Biablo is not a masterpiece by AMT. The rear lights looking really strange and the molding lines are present 😄 I looks like the fittings are not really the best. I think you did the very best out of it. The color choice is quite interessting and yourt paintjob is great! I'd fix the stance of the wheels. That's the first thing which hits the eyeballs. Maybe add some black details (window frames e.g.) too.

I always was curios, how this cars of this set will look like. Now I see one of it and the Countach in another gallery of you.

The Lamborghin Diablo was launched in 1990 as the successor to the iconic Lamborghini Countach. Chrysler bought Lamborghini in 1987 and the Diablo was developed under their stewardship. The Diablo name came from the Spanish word for "Devil". Like the Countach before it, the Diablo shape was penned by Marcello Gandini. The design elements included the slant front end, steeply raked windscreen and scissors doors. However, the final design was refined by Chrysler's studio in the USA, smoothened all sharp edges and corners, improved cooling and aerodynamics.

Stellantis which owns both Chrysler and Alfa Romeo influenced the taillight design, the Lamborghini Diablo taillight is almost identical to the Alfa Romeo. I am told there is also a difference in how taillights are designed in Europe vs. USA. In the AMT Super Car set the Diablo has a full engine with dual radiators while the Countach is only a top and bottom mold of an engine. The AMT models had a lot of flashing and places that were difficult to separate from the sprues. The plastic seemed a bit softer than other models that I have built recently. The painted wheel fit to the axel on the Countach was not good, while the Diablo had two-part wheels - an outer chrome and an inner painted that was better. It was interesting how two relatively similar cars could be quite different in scale, design and fit.
Thank you, Bob Hall and Christian W, for your comments.
