Thanks, everyone!  Guido hinted that I should take a couple of photos in the sun. Here they are; one in cloudy sun and two in full sun. My camera skills are not very good and it already has dust on it! ?

Wait - the Lindy (ex-MPC) '40 had an opening hood? That fills my quota of "one new thing" today.

Always thought it was a curbside like the '49 Mercury...

Well, dang. 

You're thinking of the MPC 1940 Ford "Fire Chief" Snap Kit, which is a different tool (also copied from the AMT coupe).  The MPC is a curbside.

Round 2 now has three different 1940 Ford coupe tools: the evergreen AMT, the MPC snap, and this Palmer-turned-Lindberg piece of work.  Chances are this one won't see the light of day again since they have the other two in their arsenal.

John did an incredible job on his build, I would never guess it was the Lindberg kit.
