Today on the Monster Hobbies Model Car Garage Show And Tell, I will show you my AMT 1940 Ford Tudor Sedan Build Stock In Red Paint. This is a model car build video that I hope you will enjoy. 

In case you are wondering how does the 1940 Ford Tudor Sedan 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 a paint brush using Testor's "Square Bottle" enamel paints. I built this model kit when I was between the ages of 8-12 as part of a "Rainbow Series" of 1939 / 1940 Ford model cars from the AMT Trophy Series model car kits.   This model was actually my first attempt at building the AMT 1940 Ford Tudor Sedan model car and I built it as a mild custom.

I chose to build the AMT 1940 Ford Tudor Sedan model car kit with the stock supplied 85 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 Gray Enamel Paint, Flat Black and Gloss White. I also painted the radiator with Brass paint. At the time, I didn't know the authentic factory engine colors, but I was having fun building these model cars. 

All the upholstery and interior components in my factory stock rainbow series of model cars uses the same paint palate : Flat Tan cloth with Flat Brown striping, Silver accessories and a Gloss White  steering wheel ring. All of this is again applied using a paint brush. 

I used the kit supplied factory chrome pieces and touched them up with Silver paint. For the body molding, I also painted this by hand. 

For the chassis and suspension as well as the running gear, I used Flat Black Testor's applied with a paint brush.  I used the chromed dropped front axle on this car because it looked cool. The blue body, fenders and hood were also painted Testor's Red with a brush. Sadly, there is a lot of dust in the paint job, so I recommend using a clean paint brush to our younger builders. 

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.
