Dragonhawk1066 Posted April 15 Posted April 15 Just recently completed my second build of this kit. The color was custom mixed using all Createx paints, Pearl Tangerine, Opaque Black, and Pearl Red. I used Createx 4053 High Gloss Clear, wet-sanded, polished, and waxed. I then added Bare Metal Foil for the trim and then applied the decals. I used the kit decals for the tires, painted the spokes with the body color, and added valve stems for the wheels. The engine color was custom mixed using craft paints and I added heater hoses and spark plug wires for extra detail. The interior was painted in Createx Opaque White with black embossing powder for carpet. I used BMF for the trim along with the kit woodgrain decals. Copper wire was used for the door lock knobs. I used the automatic transmission and corresponding rear end on this one and the fitment was spot-on compared to my first build using the 4 speed and that corresponding rear end which had to be adjusted for proper fitment. Otherwise, a great kit of one of my favorite cars, I really enjoyed the build. Thanks for looking! 16
STU111 Posted April 16 Posted April 16 G’day Craig, beautiful 442. That Sienna brown sure is a great looking colour. All round, a top notch finish. 👍🏻
happy grumpy Posted April 16 Posted April 16 Awesome build. This kit is really nice to build and you did it justice. The detailing is spot on.

espo Posted April 17 Posted April 17 Beautiful paint color and finish. The interior detailing is well done as is the engine. Like how you did the wheel treatment.
