Short story is that there is now someone making repro kits for the original 442, much like the brightvision beach bombs were. Looks o-k, unless you know what to look for. BUT, there are some folks buying them, painting them and trying to pass them off as restorations of an original. These have been seen at shows and a lot on eBay!

If you are into redlines, I would reccomend joining this site and reading all of the info and viewing the pics. They are a very dedicated group over there to helping others learn and stop people that are scamming others.
