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.

Love a 442!!  Fantastic work man!  Mad respect for the foil work!

Thanks Michael, but I have to confess most of the chrome is actually chrome parts in the kit.

Holy smokes Buddy...the ole 442 is looking killer.  That 2k clear makes it shine like a new penny.  I'm diggin it.

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.

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 👍

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

The Createx paint looks great Mike as does the entire assembly. Kudos to Zippi's efforts on the wheels.
