maltsr Posted May 12, 2012 Posted May 12, 2012 This has been an on/off project for almost 18 months, mainly due to bodywork and paint issues, it fought me all the way. It's the AMT 1939/40 sedan with a mild chop that was covered in a 'workbench' thread. The old worn out sidetrim was replaced with new styrene rod. The chassis was adapted from the R-M 1937 Ford sedan which had the wheelbase shortened and was narrowed at the rear to accommodate the wheels/tyres from the recent Revell 1936 Ford Convertible/coupe kit. Brake discs are by Pegasus. Paint is Tamiya, Metallic Purple with Translucent Purple clear to darken it and add depth. Thanks for looking!

maltsr Posted May 12, 2012 Author Posted May 12, 2012 Thanks Jeff, I know you've been following this one
Dr. Cranky Posted May 12, 2012 Posted May 12, 2012 That is one clean and smooth and beautiful model. Congratulations.
Bartster Posted May 12, 2012 Posted May 12, 2012 I followed along with you on this & I love it. The oh so subtle chop leaves the casual observer scratching his head. Beautiful work.
Sixties Sam Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 Nice, clean rod! Great paint job! The chop is subtle. I would have to see it beside a stock body to notice it. Nice work! Sam
cobraman Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 Didn't think I was a purple fan but that looks great ! Nice job.
Harry P. Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 You really should have sanded out those ejector pin marks on the underside of the running boards.
TooOld Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 Oh Yeah ! That chop is hardly noticeable , but it really works ! Very , Very Nice .
Bugace Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 That is the nicest built '39 Ford model I've seen. Except the windshield. When it comes to everything else, I envy You Your skills.
Harold Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 I kinda cringe sometime when I see the word 'chopped' in the thread title, but this is sublime. So subtle. So good.
