1940 Ford is my favorite car in the world! The coupe version being my absolute favorite but I just love these old cars from the 1930s and 1940s. He did a beautiful job on this model!
I built the 3 in one kit around 1960 . I think there are some new parts.. better tires. But it looks pretty much as I remember it except molded in black. I painted it maroon with black fenders. I loved building the 30's to 50's AMT and Revell kits. Thanks for the nostalgia and fun build.
AMT did not skimp on parts & options. As a kid I built this semi-custom - used corduroy fabric on seats and headliner to simulate tuck n roll and thought it was tuff. Fun times.
Couldn't help but notice that the fit of the right rear fender to the body has been corrected (no gap)! Great! Very nice looking build. Love those forties/thirty-nines!
Great kit review and build up. The stock sedan looks perfect as a clean daily driver. This kit is a must have and I'll be adding several of them to my stash.
Nice build, I really appreciate your videos, a kit review and complete build all in one, very informative. I did an AMT 36 Ford coupe and had a challenge to attach the body to the fenders after it was painted without messing up the paint.
Thanks man! One day someone will scream and drop F bombs (literally cussing me out for showing the parts in depth) that I show the parts, the next day someone says I didn't show the parts close enough. LOL Funny how that goes. I'll keep showing the parts for the builds, way more say they like it than don't like it.
Hey Chris! I Just wanted to let ya know Im about to button up my own 40 Ford (stock). She's coming along nicely, the chrome trim was a nightmare, I had to strip the body down and repaint. Overall finish is in a Sage green, which came out a bit more olive drab than what I wanted, but eh, it is what it is. It's probably been said by more than a few builders on this channel you're the Bob Ross of model building- and it's true! Keep up the great work! We builders love the way you explain things, add a bit of humor, and make building simple and FUN! You've inspired quite a few of us, me included to get back into car building- kudos good sir! :)
OK-Now I'm gonna haveta buy this kit! I'm trying to build a tribute to my dad's '39 coupe out of the AMT '40 Ford Coupe and it would be great if the coupe body fit those fenders so I could use the '39 parts. And this kit has the fender skirts I need! The sedan will make a nice build, too. Thanks for the video, your car looks great!
way to keep em classy ! Im in love with these older classic cars, they just don't make em like this anymore. A wonderful kit... it looks like it brings out all the great details from a bygone era! Congrats on another simply wonderful job. You've once again brought everything to life, Can't tel ya enough how you've inspired a number of us to get back into building cars, introducing us to older kits, all while keeping it clean and simple to follow- kudos!
@@hpiguy Just got back from HobbyL Lobby, with this kit in hand- they only had one, apparently it's a pretty popular kit, AND other builders are finding your channel! LOL can't wait to put it on my shelf! :)
This is what I love about your reviews, you show it can be built stock. Just from the box lid, I wouldn't have bought this kit. From your review, it is now on my list.
Great build Chris. Really nice color. I built and have many of these kits. The molds for the sedan, coupe and sedan delivery actually held up well for all of these years. Thanks again for doing the video. I like the tip on rubbing a little future overhead widows.
If I built one I built a dozen of these as a kid back in the early 1960's. Recently I replicated one I had done back then as a 39 in dark green and tan interior. Came out great. Yours looks good too, too bad the red is lighter than you wanted but Ford did offer a similar red as this as well a deep wine/maroon. Good job !
Never done a '39/'40, but now you got me considering it, Chris. Love that Red. I'm gonna have to look for that color, too. Wonderful color combo, and ESPECIALLY the choice of engine, tires, etc. Really cool. The thing I REALLY like about you is that you are so personable. You like everyone and respond to ALL. God Bless ALL of your efforts. I WILL definately find and buy this kit. Wonderful job, well done. Take care, be safe, n have fun, God Bless. Tom
Thanks Mike! I have a thing for the every day car. Everyone can build the grail cars, the one in a million special editions. Sometimes I just want to see the ordinary car every guy drove to work for ten years.
Another great review and build. Sweet job Chris! That red color really 'pops' beautifully. Many nice options to choose from. I love your enthusiasm with every model kit. Makes me want to do better every time and for that I thank you!
Very nice build with some great tips on this kit. But I'm wondering if Round 2 is doing the best marketing job by using the original box art. I avoided some of their current kits 40+ years ago because I knew they would be a handful to assemble. I would be willing to try them with retooled parts, but they might want to make that more visible.
I just picked this kit up today at Hobby Lobby with the 40% off coupon. Paying $30 for a model kit is outrageous, but I can live with $19. I plan on building mine bone stock. I know you build your kits pretty quickly, but I just can't stop noticing the mold line on the front fenders near the headlights. Other than that, nicely done.
I had this kit back in the 60s! Have been looking it over, and see that it is the same kit as the one from back then, with some additions. The old one had only one hood, have been trying to determine what was the difference to build as either a 39 or 40 back then. Had to have it because I never built it back then: )
Very nice build. A friend of mine has one of these, in 1:1 scale. His is Maroon with Grey Mohair int. A Small block Chevy and 2 inch dropped front axle. Steelie wheels and poverty caps with trim rings.
A great looking build of an old friend of a kit! I'm glad they reissued this one, I still have a stock build in the display, would like to do a gasser or custom now :)
I’m glad you did this review on this Chris, cause I sure didn’t know it was a 3n1 kit! I seen it on Amazon last month when I ordered some stuff, I almost got it but then passed it up! I bet that I won’t pass it up again next time! That’s a good candidate for another Shine Runner vehicle, especially with that 394 Olds it comes with! That’s a good trick on the silver or grey pencil too! Thanks buddy, appreciate it! Yours looks good too man, good job 👍!
My favorite 2 of the 3 Ford older cars 1.49-51 Ford tudor or deluxe coupe,2. 40-41 Ford coupe and sedan, and the 3rd the 56 Ford crown Victoria Fairlane and the 57 Ford Fairlane.
great factory stock build car chris. i'm getting sic of all the gassers, rusted, modified models; i think it takes some guts to go for factory stock. thanks for sharing.
Hpi i have a question, can i use automotive black primer on the body and wheel interrior base.i can buy it cheap here. But i heard that it can harm the plastic.
I started building models back in the late 60's to the present but I think I've only built this kit once way back, I might have to look into getting this reissue and build one
At first when you said it was going to be maroon color, I was disappointed when it turned out red. However, after it was assembled it looked pretty sweet in that color.
Just in case it got any release oil on the plastic or someone who bagged it had dirty hands, etc. Sometimes when I don't clean it I'll get fisheyes in the paint from oils on the plastic. A few minutes cleaning beats having to strip paint off.
Been watching your channel for a few days and I am impressed by your skills. I do have a question: do you keep these or do you donate them? Thanks for the videos!
A bit of information here. For a darker maroon.the Napa dark garnet red is a perfect match for the original stock body color. The Martin Senour paint mixture number is :3-1-9588-00. This is a perfect duplicate of the 1940 Ford Mandarin Maroon, and the 1941 Mayfair Maroon. I know this because this was the original stock color of my 1941 two door sedan project car. This is compatable with the model plastic. I am doing a 1940 sedan kit in this color. It should look very good when it is done.
Definitely like to have some of the custom parts for the mpc molded in blue 57 ford Fairlane stocker I still have not built other than the basic interior except the front seat or the roll bars, and the motor.
Ooh the 65 Oldsmobile cutlass 330 H.O. might be a 66 its a older kit that Oldsmobile 394 motor would be a neat touch for that and the 41 willys swindler revell type models with the blown Oldsmobile big block, and the coca cola 40 Willy's drag truck and tonneau cover
Nice work on that very shiny sedan. Me, I couldn't do bone stock, I'd have to custom fit that ride and make sure those nasty mold lines are removed off of the fenders!
I've built this kit several times, including the coupe and the panel delivery, which share a lot of the same parts, I like your reviews, and have even learned a few things, however, with these 40 Ford's, the fenders are showing the mold lines really bad, and do need to be sanded out!
@@hpiguy I typically only do mold line removal when the castings are as bad as they seem to be with the old 40 Ford kits, all of the 40 Ford's from AMT use all of the same molds, with the exception of the body of course, so the mold lines are really prominent on the fender castings for some reason, I'm like you in a lot of ways, I don't usually remove all the mold lines either, but that one for some reason has always bothered me, I've been building those 40 Ford kits since their original releases, maybe those molds are just getting really old!
Those wheels trim rings and baby moon hubcaps reminds me of the wheels I put on my 49 mpc crusin classics 2 Dr club coupe!!! I want to find a more detailed version of the Ford flathead V8 and add even more detailed accutrements and then put it in the 49 Ford I believe I already have setup for a three spd column shift manual car
Great video, thanks for making it. I just ordered a ‘40 Sedan kit from eBay. It isn’t the exact kit - maybe an earlier release. I intend to do a stock version as well, most likely, I’ll paint mine black because….this was the first hardtop onscreen BATMOBILE!!!! And I must recreate it in plastic! th-cam.com/video/Cowdltm7Z3c/w-d-xo.html 9:22 to 9:27 I’m not a car expert but I think the Car is a 40 Ford Sedan. If I’m wrong, it’s pretty close. You built an early Batmobile!!!
I've always shown a link to your builds here but if you ever want to drop in here is a link to our chat on models, the room opens around 8pm eastern time www.chatzy.com/88597274200870
For that style body, I use Testors Clear Parts glue to temporarily attach top of body to fenders. Use just few drops along edges. After painting, glue is like Elmer's glue, easy to pull apart.

Awesome job it looks like it just came out of the factory
Thanks Ross!
That's a REALLY beautiful car. Personally, I would've made it two tone with that red color. It's really awesome. Good job.
Thanks!
Beautiful brother thanks for sharing with us have this in my stash for a upcoming build in 2019 keep up the awesome work
Thanks Thomas!
That's the Oldsmobile powered version sweet and I love how you can also build it as a 39 or the 40
Cool concept. The '39 grille also worked for the '40 base trim if you paint it body color.
Very nice build. A friend of mine has one of these, in 1:1 scale. His is Maroon with Grey Mohair int. A Small block Chevy and 2 inch dropped front axle. Steelie wheels and poverty caps with trim rings.

I'm building mine as a 4x4. Crazy enough I picked international red by rustoleum before I saw this video. Nice stock version.

I love the interior paint job
Hpi i have a question, can i use automotive black primer on the body and wheel interrior base.i can buy it cheap here. But i heard that it can harm the plastic.
Test on scrap [plastic first. I used to use the primers at Autozone but Rustoleum is cheaper and easier to find.
Nice looking was there a lot of flash and how was the chrome it looked a little weird thank you for the build
I showed the parts in the beginning. Flash is normal and easy to remove. Didn't notice any issues with the chrome.
hpiguys Workshop Yes I saw that but I appreciate the answer actually was at hobby lobby today and bought one thank you so much
I started building models back in the late 60's to the present but I think I've only built this kit once way back, I might have to look into getting this reissue and build one
First time for me but I liked it!
If I did it again it will be a gasser with all the logos and the big V8.
yes almost need to buy 2 kits
At first when you said it was going to be maroon color, I was disappointed when it turned out red. However, after it was assembled it looked pretty sweet in that color.
Thanks Bob!
nice build , im doing the same car but i am not doing it stock or race i am doing it as a streetrod and two tone paint
Thanks Jody, enjoy your build!
So I'm not new to modeling but I'm curious as to why you "degrease" the parts before assembling. What's the advantage?
Just in case it got any release oil on the plastic or someone who bagged it had dirty hands, etc. Sometimes when I don't clean it I'll get fisheyes in the paint from oils on the plastic. A few minutes cleaning beats having to strip paint off.
Agreed thanks for the knowledge. I'm painting mine a tamiya purple metal flake.
Beautiful build, I love this car!
Thanks Jefferson!
Been watching your channel for a few days and I am impressed by your skills. I do have a question: do you keep these or do you donate them? Thanks for the videos!

What kind of paint did you use for the interior ?
Rustoleum Khaki Camo spray was the base coat. Then I just dirtied it up a bit.
