Lovefordgalaxie Posted August 11, 2014 Posted August 11, 2014 Here is another old build to bore you guys. It's a 1940 Ford Sedan Delivery Deluxe, built from the AMT kit. The paint is Tamiya TS-11 Maroon, a perfect match for the FoMoCo color Mandarin Maroon. 1940 Ford Sedan Delivery Deluxe by Lovefordgalaxie, on Flickr 1940 Ford Sedan Delivery Deluxe by Lovefordgalaxie, on Flickr 1940 Ford Sedan Delivery Deluxe by Lovefordgalaxie, on Flickr 1940 Ford Sedan Delivery Deluxe by Lovefordgalaxie, on Flickr 1940 Ford Sedan Delivery Deluxe by Lovefordgalaxie, on Flickr 1940 Ford Sedan Delivery Deluxe by Lovefordgalaxie, on Flickr
smellyfatdude Posted August 11, 2014 Posted August 11, 2014 Another gorgeous looking Ford! Btw, did you repost the ' 62 Sunliner you built? I know the pictures in your original post are MIA.
NJJeff Posted August 11, 2014 Posted August 11, 2014 Outstanding! Beautiful color and finish. (...love the subtle mural on the drivers side of the guy taking a picture....) :-)
Lovefordgalaxie Posted August 11, 2014 Author Posted August 11, 2014 Thanks guys!! Another gorgeous looking Ford! Btw, did you repost the ' 62 Sunliner you built? I know the pictures in your original post are MIA. Will repost later for you OK? I took new pictures of her, along with a custom '57 and still have to upload them to Flickr.
58 Impala Posted August 11, 2014 Posted August 11, 2014 Very nice, all your paint jobs are impeccable.
Harry P. Posted August 11, 2014 Posted August 11, 2014 One of your best! (and they are all good!) The paint is beautiful... heck, the whole model is beautiful! I like your paint jobs. They're shiny and smooth, but they look realistic for the era... none of that "20 coats of clear" business. Very nicely done.
unclescott58 Posted August 11, 2014 Posted August 11, 2014 (edited) Very nice. But, I expect only perfect from you Tulio. And this one is not perfect. The taillights for a sedan delivery are all wrong. You built your kit correctly, for AMT box stock. But, Ford did not use those taillights on the sedan deliveries. AMT has always had this feature wrong in their kit. Those taillights are correct for non-commercial, passenger car models of Fords for 1940. I've wondered many times, how many people over the years knew about the taillight difference on the sedan delivery, and AMT's mistake. Despite the taillights being wrong, I still plan on using them on my Three Stooges build of the same kit. They look better than the stock taillights supplied by Ford.

The very first time I posted this Ford, I said that the kit had wrong taillights, and thus was also missing a place for the rear licence plate. There are also no factory correct rear bumper supports, what is also a bummer. But, like I'm into box stock building, and only very (and when I say very, I really mean it) very rarely add any extra detail, I just left the kit the way it came. I only glued on the rear door a licence plate holder with a light, so the plate would have a place to be installed. Found the part in my parts box, and decided it was perfect for the job.
unclescott58 Posted August 12, 2014 Posted August 12, 2014 It really is perfect Tulio. Wrong taillights or not. Scott
Lovefordgalaxie Posted August 12, 2014 Author Posted August 12, 2014 It really is perfect Tulio. Wrong taillights or not. Scott Thanks, really appreciated!! But one of these days I'll have to go to the next level, and to start to scratch build details. For now, my concept of super detailed is a set of spark plug wires All in all, I'm following my uncle's advice. He told me: "perfect the best you can to build with what is inside the box, once you are satisfied with what you get this way, then try some fancy tricks".

Trust me, you're ready for the fancy tricks. Charlie Larkin
