Today on the Monster Hobbies Model Car Garage Show And Tell, I will show you my AMT 1936 Ford 5 Window Coupe Build Stock In Blue Paint. This is a model car build video that I hope you will enjoy. 

In case you are wondering how does the 1936 Ford 5 Window Coupe model car go together, here is a look at a factory stock build I made right out of the box. 

This model car was built with all the details being painted by an airbrush using Tamyia's Acrylic paints. I do believe I built this model car in the late 1990's at my parent's house when I was still using our Testor's simple airbrush kit.   

I chose to build the AMT 1936 Ford 5 Window Coupe model car kit with the stock supplied 60 horsepower flathead V8. This amazing engine goes together easily and the hoses line up with the holes in the radiator quite well. I painted the engine using Testor's Gloss Green Enamel Paint, Gloss Black and Gloss Yellow.

The only odd part of this model car is the separate hard top roof. The reason why AMT molded the body of this car like that is because the predecessor model was the AMT 1936 Ford 3-window / Cabriolet coupe. that model kit had the option of the factory stock roof, a chopped top roof and a convertible cowl and door tops with a chrome windshield. when AMT altered the mold for the 5-window, they used the same separate top theory in the design.  Inside, the upholstery was painted using Flat Grey. 

I used the kit supplied factory chrome pieces and touched them up with Silver. For the body molding, I applied Bare Metal Foil. 

For the chassis and suspension as well as the running gear, I used Gloss Black Tremclad Spray Paint. 

Overall the model went together quite well with the usual amount of seam line scraping, mold mark removing and all the rest. Someone of moderate skill level can put this model car together quite easily. 

Originally this model car kit came out in the early 1960's and was part of the AMT Trophy Series, which contained interchangeable parts with other AMT Trophy Series model car kits. All the engine mounting points and lengths are the same so that a person could swap the optional engines from one Ford to another, giving the builder infinite custom and dragster combinations.  

Look for my other builds from this same model car kit coming soon! 

The figure standing behind the car is from the "Henry Ford and Friends" model kit from ICM.
