TransAmMike Posted Thursday at 02:40 AM Posted Thursday at 02:40 AM My latest victim is this Lindberg 4-4-2. Wheels are Cragers printed by forum member Zippy for me on AMT red-lines. I added aluminum tubing for the tailpipe extensions. Paint is Createx deep red pearl over Stynylrez gray primers. The pictures actually show it a bit lighter red than it actually is. Clear is Slash 2K, my first use of it. Thanks for looking and of course comments welcome 🙂 19 1

meechum68 Posted Thursday at 03:20 AM Posted Thursday at 03:20 AM Well, you still killed it! Look forward to your next build Mike!
bisc63 Posted Thursday at 06:50 AM Posted Thursday at 06:50 AM Great looking build of a sharp car! Simply gorgeous in red. 1
Zippi Posted Thursday at 01:11 PM Posted Thursday at 01:11 PM Holy smokes Buddy...the ole 442 is looking killer. That 2k clear makes it shine like a new penny. I'm diggin it.
STU111 Posted Thursday at 11:47 PM Posted Thursday at 11:47 PM Sharp looking Olds there. Lots to like about this one. 👍🏻
AMT68 Posted Thursday at 11:55 PM Posted Thursday at 11:55 PM The Createx paint looks great Mike as does the entire assembly. Kudos to Zippi's efforts on the wheels.
Dragonhawk1066 Posted yesterday at 12:14 AM Posted yesterday at 12:14 AM That's a nice looking Olds Mike! I might have to look into that deep pearl red as I'm looking for a nice deep water-based metallic red.
Kah puts Posted yesterday at 12:43 AM Posted yesterday at 12:43 AM Oh man I’ve been waiting for one of these in red, I think it’s just about the best colour you could find for this Oldsmobile. What a great build, thanks for sharing 👍
dphipps Posted yesterday at 05:05 PM Posted yesterday at 05:05 PM Nice looking 442, I really like the staggered width wheels. I remember building (destroying) this one as a kid. Lately I've been eyeing up the AMT version at Michael's when they've got their 40% off coupon

Jim N Posted yesterday at 06:38 PM Posted yesterday at 06:38 PM Looks superb! Great color choice. I built one of these several years ago and really enjoyed it.
