The coupe and the sedan delivery were made in the late 70's/early 80's. The coupe was molded in a maroon color and the sedan delivery in a green color. I had them both as a kid. Another great video.
That's how I recall them, the *Coupe* and the *Sedan* *Delivery* , in those respective colours. IIRC, they were both 'updated' in c.1987 with then-new wheels (not a fan) and tyres (to the wider Good Year Rallye GTs). The coupe has a supercharger; the delivery has the tunnel ram -- not sure if those were "switched" around c.1987. *Great* build up, *Chris* ! Excellent colour choices (I love Ivory on these 1930's vehicles) and tasteful touches (glad that you added Molotow to the running boards' trim).
Very nice job on your 39 Chevy S/D Chris. Love the color combo you used. it looks sweet. You guessed correctly, the barrels are from the beer wagon. This kit was 1st issued in 1978 by Monogram. Kit # 2240 , it was molded in green plastic. Thanks for sharing your build up of this latest issue.
Yes, I'm sorry about that. I realized that after I hit the blue arrow, then I read your comment again and seen I was wrong then I tried to explain in another comment and gave up, deleted everything, and waited for my scolding.🙄
@@rickzinck9326 😄 oops. So the release of the Beer Wagon was earlier than I thought. Do you by chance know when the Red Baron and Boot Hill Express were released? I've always been curious 🤔.
Oh yeah, built one back in the day. I wanted to build another, but wasn’t too keen on paying collector’s prices. I can’t wait til my LHS has this on the shelf.
My uncle had the real car and made it like a rum Runner. He had a bar called Rum Runners and the car was the mascot. The hard part he said was actually getting the barrel for the back. He won a few local shows and many parades.
There was a lowrider version of the same kit. I believe it came with optional lowered suspension and wire wheels. This is a nice kit, wish it had a steelie wheels, hubcaps with beauty rings. Larger tires on the rear and smaller is the front. Keep up the nice previews of the new releases and your builds😎
Awesome job @hpiguys workshop on 1/24 scale Revell 1939 Chevy Sedan Delivery be neat service station or bread hot rod panel more advestnent vehicle may get this one & 2nd Ford Bronco model kit aswell in future
I believe this kit was modified from the 1939 Chevy Lowrider kit. All the same except no beer barrels and Lowrider was a normal sedan with full windows, not the delivery van version. I built Lowrider kit back in 2002.
That is a beautiful looking kit and a beautiful job building it. I really like the colors you chose for the engine. Your videos are my touchstone for serenity whenever I need a break from the world's problems. Always a pleasure to watch.
That answers a few questions that I’d had about the kit. It looks like there was supposed to be another sprue, as well. It seems odd that there was never a plan to include an air cleaner, or the rest of the firewall.
I had one of these when I was a young teen modeler, molded in red. I still have bits and pieces of it! haha I will have to get this kit cause I always loved the look of these. Now that I am older I think I can do it justice that my young self couldn't. That's funny... when I first clicked on this video and saw the color I thought A&W Root Beer truck, and then it has root beer decals in it. It really looks like a build most people except for those on Hobby Lobby's reviews could do. Looks great!
Great job, Chris! I love those old Monogram kits. I built many of them back in the day and they always went together with few (if any) fit issues. Build on!
Great updated kit , I have the low rider version of the same kit with some added items. I will still of course pick this one up, love the barrels and decals
Already putting this one on my wish list! It's very reminiscent of AMT's old 1940 Sedan Delivery Ford kit, which is one of the nicer AMT kits I've built over the years.
Absolutely wonderful build & presentation Chris !!! Color choices are spot on and the whiskey barrels push this kit over the top. I will definitely be adding this kit to my must purchase!!
The rear wheels were off center on real cars. It had something to do with the rear shackles. When you added weight to the vehicle, you flatten out the springs. Seeing as the front of the springs were mounted solid, the wheels would be forced back into the center of the wheel well. Oh and for future reference those lights on the bumper are fog lights and should be painted yellow or light amber. Nice job as always 👏 👍
Great video Chris. I REALY think you should shoot the "paint segment" in 2 X from now on? It's cool & moves things along nicely! Just my opinion of course. Your way is always good! I dig the music, love the steps. Thanks for the ideas, to use towards my builds. Stay safe!
Nice build Chris!👍 I'm glad to see this one back! I do wish, however, that they had included the wheels/tires from the 1978 ElCamino kit ,(Cragars/60s series tires), as they are more "retro" to the other aftermarket equipment in the kit,(late 60's early 70's). Glad you did the "Cherry bombs". They look great on this kit! My one wish is they would do a two door "Bustle Trunk" sedan body for this series of kits!
I wonder if that is what the second window set is for. The front end goes a good job of lining up to the window frame, but the back is slightly wider than the space of the delivery interior, and the back of the door opening doesn’t line up for this kit. That still leaves what the “moon-eye” windows are supposed to fit…
These are the kinds of kits that I lean towards, now. Clean, clear detail, but a relatively lower part count, with an open invitation to modify. Higher-part-count-kits are challenging to build, but don’t “speak” to me in the same way.
Well, apparently it spoke me more clearly than I thought: I picked one up, and am going back to get another( I need the wheels for a trailer that I have planned). Loads of trimming and fabrication ahead, and I should have a mobile cafe with a rack of lemonade dispensers( the barrels).
Red is for cherry bomb and thrush, silver is generic and thrush, light blue with a white stripe for blue streak, and medium dark purple for purple hornies.
just bought the early release of this kit has lots more chrome trim but doesnt come with 427 big block will keep that in mind and the box art rims tires ect are cool thanks dou scooter d😁
Hundreds of cans. Literally. Also, I never said I 'refuse' to use airbrushes or have anything against them at all. I own three and have used them on past builds for custom colors like Mr Bean's car. But it is funny to me when people say stuff like that. Enjoy!
Good color choice. I'm digging it. I built this kit way back in the late 80's. It had different decals and wheels, but it was basically the same kit. Maybe Revell re-did the molds/tooling? Btw, this has "bothered" me a long time: You're not using the panel line wash correct. You're supposed to let it dry, and after it's dry wipe off excess wash. I use a cotton bud and odourless mineral spirits for the purpose. I bet You've read this before, but I had to comment this.
LOL, no one has tried to tell me how to use my black wash before you. There is no 'proper' way to use it. Use it in the way that will give you the results you desire. Thanks for watching.
@@hpiguy yeah, I hear You. Maybe my comment wasn't composed all the way through, and I apologise. I'm all for You build for You. Thanks for the content.
The red Thrush brand glass pack mufflers are sweet. The swan on the hood - nice choice (real popular in the 1950's). My dad had a Swan hood ornament with plastic wings that lit up. He owned over 150 cars in his life (not all at once - no more that ten at a time). Anyway, he would mount that Swan on his favorite car of the week. Nice touch. I ordered the kit and I'm gunna use the Swan, but I'm wondering about lighting it...
I see that the wheels were primed with flat back, but then next thing I know, they are shiny and being painted with matte clear. Did I miss the step where they are painted between priming and topcoating? What paint was used? Thanks
this kit was molded in lime green from the factory and the 1939 coupe was molded in black with flame decals which i still have both of them from back then
Got the '39 Coupé Street rod. Twice. One is built but suffered chrome loss during its stay in the humid basement of my folks' previous house and the second one is unbuild. Seems the coupé and sedan use the same wheels. Engines are different, hood and body + interior are different. They MIGHT have modded the fender part so that it get from a 2 seater (or was it a full bench?) as to make it a delivery. Was a fun one to build (which is why I have another one), so I guess this one is really fun to build too. The original coupé date from 1979 and what I've found is that the sedan was made in 2005, as a low rider from the coupé' molds (which explain why it use the coupé's wheels, as a low rider, it had lr wheels ) and the kit wasn't re-released between then and the edition you have in your hands. Scalemate still haven't included this release on their kit's history tree page yet. As always, awesome build. Your build would fit well in front of a A&W restaurant diorama.
Addon: Things didn't add up for me, with the Low Delivery being the first edition of the delivery version, so I checked around a little bit more and found out that the ORIGINAL release of that kit was under Monogram in 1978. So, I dunno if there was lots of changes made to the original release along the years before it was released as the version you have. But yeah. This kit's original first release is in '78. Scalemate's pages about the Coupe and the Delivery are not linked to one another, so it's kind of odd. But even on that page, they still haven't updated this edition as a new entry.
I notice you only focus on THREE THINGS - details, details and details. As a result, you impart a lot of realism, again because of the details. Thanks a bunch, I'm pre-ordering mine - March is not that far off and it'll take that long to clear my bench. Until next time....
Excellent job, Chris!! Loved the 2-tone paint combo. Keep them coming!

Dr. Feelgoods miracle elixer
@@kennybuckman6483 That's the one I have, and I assume the "glass" shown at the beginning of this video is for both the coupe and the sedan delivery
Same here, early to mid 80s, maroon coupe and green sedan delivery. I wish I still had them and all the other similar Monogram 1/24 kits I made.
I built the coupe in about 1987. Molded in black for that one. Those wheels were really cool back then. 😂
Very cool
my favorite builder
isn't it great when you can get a kit that doesn't fight you and it goes together like a dream, great build Chris love the color combination 👍👍
Looks great- like you went with the root beer decals. Gonna make myself a root beer float now.
Great build
Very cool kit, nice job
You're still hitting them out of the park stay safe and positive keep up the amazing work
I had this kit in the early 80s molded in light green. Was called Dr Feelgood. Nice kit.
The attention to details is amazing! The color selection is perfect.
Cool kit that you can do soooo much with!!!! 🙂👍😊
Very cool build nice that they had the barrels

Great video Chris, keep em coming and I'll keep watching.
Really enjoyed the acoustic tracks during the build segment. Nice touch!
Nice looking kit sir!
Mega Good Work,Sir
Finally, brought back a good classic model kit. Same as the Lowrider kit they use to sell. Great build as always. See you on the next one.✌️
I just checked my open/complete lowrider kit before I read your comment. Should have just read the comments. Would have save me digging.
Classy 👌 love it. LOL did you say awesome sauce, haven't heard that for a while 😁
Oh yeah, built one back in the day. I wanted to build another, but wasn’t too keen on paying collector’s prices. I can’t wait til my LHS has this on the shelf.
Great build!! I am going to take this kit as a next one! :) thanks for sharing tips they are really helpful!
Nice build, I like the color choice👍
Man, that is one great looking kit! Homerun hit! 👍🏻👍🏻
That model looks delicious! Time for a root beer float!
Just a comment for the algorithm
Nice build like the color choice the stance looks real good
this is a great kit! it came out once in a low rider version :) Pops Ice cream! i need this one
I asked this question before I watched the whole entire video thank you so much for posting that information
Glad it was helpful!
Cool ride 😎
Beautiful mate👍
Good tip using a food dehydrator to speed up the drying time on the mod podge, gonna look for one.
Great kit and Build Chris . Love those panel deliveries. 👍
Man that thing came out excellent! Love that root beer metallic and white color combo! Those barrels add a nice touch!
Nicely done Chris!
Good call the THRUSH GLASSPACK MUFFLERS... Love it ! 🔥
That badboy came out sweet.
Hey Chris, you made my day painting those Thrush glass packs red, had those on my 57 chevy. very nice build, you do great work, keep it going.
Your color choices, knocked it clean out of the ballpark and 4 blocks away!!!!!
Absolutely beautiful job sirrrrrrrrrr! WOW! Thank you for sharing 👍.

Thank you for mentioning the glue you've used from the get go...lol it was driving me nuts tring to figure it out. Love your work
Very Cool!
Aluminum tape is tricky stuff -
Those barrels look like the ones Donkey Kong fling at Mario!
It was re-released by Revell in 2001, but it released by Monogram in the late 70s It's a much older kit than you might think, but a lovely fit.

Gosh! I think it was 1986 maybe 87 when I built that model. Mine was molded in a deep red color.
Looks like the old Dr Feelgood’s kit I built as a lad in about 1980 or so
Since you refuse to use an air brush, you must have a huge collection of rattle cans? Nice work.

Monogram 2240 39 chevy sedan delivery came out in 1978 they also had a coup
Lovely kit. Question. Why did you use Mod Podge for the emblem but locktite for the engine and other parts?
Fantastic build as always.
Does it have door panels?
I never saw them.

Does anyone remember this model (or one very similar) released in the 70's in green styrene? It was a Monogram.
