1936 Ford 5-Window Coupe

Just sort of an FYI, I found this pic. I'm pretty sure that's the top separation line, similar to the AMT kit.

Yup, just like the Revell and AMT kits.

Thank's Andrew.  Well, it looks like I'll be able to get this one across the finish line in a respectable time.  I really like this body style but I hate the two piece body.  Wonder if the Monogram 36 kit is a two piece body?

Could always start with a resin chopped top body that is cast as one piece.

There have been a couple casters through the years that offered it that way.

I'm 90% sure it is. My memory is a little fuzzy, but I think Monogram originally issued that kit as the coupe & convertible in one box, and later re-pops of the coupe came with the two-piece body.

He is correct. All the 1930's "Turret Top" Fords, were done in two parts when in model Form. Draft angles on the tops made it necessary.

Unless you look at 1/32 scale kits, the the body was done in left/right halves.

Not much progress.  Did a little interior work, got the first coat of Tamiya Rubber Black on the running boards and the roof insert, and also got the headlights together and installed.

Just a little more touch up and I'm ready to assemble this one and get it finished out.  I gotta tell ya....this AMT kit is not the quality of the Revell kit IMO.

Looking good Bob! I really like the wheel colour, works well with the body colour. ??

Now I recall, my dad had one started. The OG 1961 issue, he got maybe 1/2 way done with it. The car is long gone, but I still have the box.
