I found this interesting bit of work on the web, it is a college project to
create a PDP-11 on a chip; look at the link:

Why did he pick PDP-11/40 model?

Maybe because that's what they had in their lab?

It's worth noting that they're also working on a VAX-11/780 implementation.

It's interesting to note, based on the pictures, they might be
emulating RK05's using the IDE HD. As such it might possible to run
something other than Unix on this.

I probably know why they chose PDP-11/40, because I chose PDP-11/40
before I found their work. The reason why I chose PDP-11/40 is because
UNIX V6 runs on PDP-11/40 and there is a very good book about the UNIX
V6 source code hacking (written by an Australian I believe). Sure, I
abandoned the plan to create a PDP-11/40 to focus on other projects.
