1939 Ford Deluxe Tudor

[Chuck Most]

I had this old AMT kit kicking around for about a decade, doing a little bit with it here and there. The AMT kit doesn't really build into an accurate '39, but I decided to go that route anyway because all I wanted was a halfway decent shelf model. It is mostly box stock aside from the front axle (from the Rides Magazine '40 Sedan Delivery), wheels and tires (I think they came from a diecast Dodge coin bank) and most of the engine parts. It's far from perfect, but I did get that halfway decent shelf model I was after, and that's one less unbuilt kit on the pile. I'll call it a victory.

I like it. This kit is on my list of ones to look for the next time I make the three hour trek to the hobby shop in Dallas. Shelf models are the best models! They are the ones that remind us how to have fun.

Nicely done Chuck (as usual). They do make a great shelf model and they are fun to put together.

Victory indeed!  Well done.

Your two door sedan looks great, I agree that the wheels add a nice touch too. One thing that the kit really has wrong is the windshield wipers. On a 40 the wipers are at the bottom, like the kit and on a 39 the wipers are at the top of the windshield. A few trim pieces vary also. I always look at the wipers to determine a 39 Deluxe from a 40 Standard.

Very nice, Chuck! Clean, classic rod look. I like the wheels, and the stance is just right. Great work!
