1967 Ford Mustang GT Fastback 289 V8 1/25 Scale Model Kit Build Review AMT 1241 Modelroundup

[@blesko6117]

I got the original run of this kit for Christmas when I was 14. I had already built the kit the year prior so I put it away thinking if I ever had a son or daughter, I'd build it with them. 23 yrs later and I just started working on it with my two oldest sons 😊

[@carlosballesteros4670]

Lucky you for your kids, and for the model/car.

[@richardlee1092]

Really nice results. Nice color choice. The 60’s had some of the best mustangs! Nice kit!

[@hpiguy]

Thanks for stopping by!

[@blackthorne1497]

Great Job. The emerald paint job pops out. You have taught me the value of using spray paints I can find in my local stores rather than ordering more expensive hobby products...and they work just as good or better! Pre assembling parts and not being tied by the instructions order is educational too. I even broke down and ordered a testors paint set (something I haven't used in many years). Keep teaching

[@toddhill8488]

It's always fun to see which direction you take your builds as far as the paint job and the interiors. This kit was definitely a blast to put together, planning on picking up a couple more for the stash.

[@hpiguy]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@toddhill8488]

I just noticed that it seems like we both went without the interior rear view mirror, should we chalk that one up to great minds thinking alike?😃

[@ruy1050]

Besides all the painting and building proccess, I like the music you choose.

[@hpiguy]

Thanks for stopping by!

[@bamabiker750]

I haven't built a model kit since I was a kid back in the late '60's but I've been binge watching your videos and you have inspired me to jump head long back into the hobby - I've order a number of vintage NASCAR kits. And, with a full scale 'Stang sitting in the garage, I'm gonna order this one as well. You sir are the Bob Ross of model building. Thank you!

[@hpiguy]

Remember the most important rule with your hobby, HAVE FUN!! The rest will come as you build more. :)

[@bamabiker750]

@@hpiguy Yes, you are spot-on sir. I think you have developed exactly the right approach to model building. These things should be built in a weekend and not take weeks and months to complete. I think if a build takes too long, the fun factor is lost - perhaps this is true with all hobbies. I need to be mindful of this as I go forward. Thank you again and I'm looking forward to your next project and continuing to explore the other builds on your channel.

[@hpiguy]

@@bamabiker750 Models should be built however the owner of the kit wants to build them is what I mean. If they have fun taking a year to create the most perfect factory replica, that's cool. What's not cool is demanding everyone else build to their standards. Everyone needs to enjoy their hobbies in their own way and let others do the same. Thanks for stopping by!

[@redhog1arkie395]

Nice..back in the day i owned a 68 Fastback,302 4spd.,4bbrl.,had turn signal lights built into the hood,Cbra-Jet valve covers,two-tone seats..It was my dream car!

[@kevindouglasjackson]

I really enjoyed this one, I've had a 67 notchback, 70 fastback, 70 Mach 1.

A 1970 Mustang is one of my dream cars!

We had a 69 Mustang 428 CObra Jet with 4.11's, A1 torque converter. It was a monster. Miss that car!

[@JohnJohnson-qg2ub]

Wow I almost thought it was Bullitt for a min... Great job!

[@tygrkhat4087]

I was thinking the same thing. That was a '68 Mustang, IIRC.

The 67 is such a legendary design of any car, ever

[@hpiguy]

Glad you like them!

[@shealaking8557]

That looks like a lovely kit to build. Thanks for taking us along for the ride.

[@hpiguy]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@Funsho97]

You added some really nice details with this one, the wheels look factory correct for sure!!! The '67 and '68 Mustangs were just super boss with very clean and lean lines!!!

[@hpiguy]

Right on!

Great kit and build. Reminds me of the Bullet Mustang of course 😀👍

[@louisepeters4981]

That's a very good looking sharp Mustang it looks good in green you did a good job

[@2H80vids]

Neat work with the chrome trim and your clearcoat gives it the perfect finish. Great job.👌

[@davidhinkson8856]

I built the GT350 version of this many years ago, and that had a number of fit issues - this one seems a lot better in that regard and as always the end result looks great. I am a great lover of Mustangs so it looks like I'll be giving this more standard version another go if I can find it.

I've retired and began doing modeling again..Much more patient than I was at 12... vision and fingers are showing their age tho..I do Aircraft and Kreigsmarine models..I've amassed a collection of the cars I've owned..Chargers, Camaros, etc..the fit and finish seems better than in the 70s.

Absolutely I love this channel I get to see how to do the spray paint and the building just right. My models dont look nearly as well as yours.

[@sadiehunt3970]

Growing up I kept all of the scraps as I would use it to build other things I especially loved it when models came with 2 different motors as I would use the motor for a custom build cars a made out of the scraps as I made a few different off-road dune buggy's

[@grimmo74]

Hey mate. Love your builds. Thanks to you I now use the silver pens for some chrome work. Looks good!

[@hpiguy]

Thanks for stopping by!

[@johnclemans7802]

Gold pilot pens work good too, for chassis, engine detail as well as other parts. When you are finished with the pens clean them well, then wrap blue masking tape around the cap and the body of the pen. This helps so they don't dry out.

[@andresgarcia7757]

Looks stunning! I really like your approach to model building!

Really good looking model kit!! I would have to paint like the one from gone in 60 seconds I wouldn't be able to help myself

[@hpiguy]

You can do it!

[@mitchcohen4264]

I ABSOLUTELY love your videos. Just subscribed. I learn many things many channels, but I love how you just show that building models should be completely personal and done for ourselves not trying to make high competition models every time. Question, do you clear coat over your decals, then put that polish on? Or clear coat, decals then polish over all? What is your order for that? .

[@bigcharliesmodelgarage296]

Looks great Chris. In my favorite color. Great review and build. Thanks for sharing.

[@tjhaywood100]

Very nice! Personally, I prefer to use a Molotow chrome pen for the chrome trim. It looks just like chrome and not just silver like the silver paint pens.

[@alanwbelcher]

Nice! Just got one from Hobby Lobby.

[@13Dixiefried]

This kit and the 67 Shelby GT350 are similar to each other. With a few differences. With the Shelby I had a few fitment issues with the front and rear fascias, where I had to fill in. Other than it's a nice kit. I've built two lol. An 06 release plus the most release of the Shelby kit. One was show room new and the other a rusted out barn find lol. Probably pick this kit up at Hobby Lobby if they have it or at hobby shop an hours drive away from me lol.

[@markforster6457]

How did you decide when to use gray primer and when to use black primer? Just curious. Thanks!

[@hpiguy]

Black for deep shadows and to darken the color coat over it. Grey for neutral uses. It won't darken or lighten the color above it, it just helps it bond better and the plastic color gets covered. White to lighten the color coat above it.
