Awesome David! Really digging that green 💚🐌✌️

[@PlasticImaginationWorkshop]

Thanks! I really like that green with the black stripes. Thanks for watching and have a great weekend 👍

[@scalemodelsnail]

@@PlasticImaginationWorkshop you’re most welcome. Thanks you too! ☺️

[@taxman9910]

Thank you for sharing I'm not a fan of Ford but now I am going to add this one to my collection, hoping it turns out as nice as yours. Keep on sharing 👍👍👍👍

[@PlasticImaginationWorkshop]

Right on! I am glad you enjoyed it. It's a really nice kit. Thanks for watching and have a great week.

[@LarrysModelShop]

Great build video and that tire trick is really a neat one that I keep forgetting, hot water can be our friend if used properly.

[@PlasticImaginationWorkshop]

Thanks! And yeah, that trick with hot water works great for getting tires on without messing up your wheels. Thanks for watching. Have a great weekend 👍

[@INeeDMyGarageTime]

David Your mustang turned out nice , perfect color and the engine detail. Your paint wrinkled because of moisture in the can or the primer you use . That happens to me sometimes. Nice Review and build.

[@PlasticImaginationWorkshop]

Thank you for the compliments. yeah, I figured it was moisture, I should have used my airbrush on this instead of the rattle can. Thanks for watching and commenting. Have a great week.

[@tyebrown7294]

Awesome build mate looking forward to building this..Ya paint issue is because Tamiya PS paints are not for plastic models they are made for RC bodies mate 😀

[@PlasticImaginationWorkshop]

Thank you! Have fun building one of these. It's a great kit. And yeah, I didn't realize that the paint was for RC bodies. Have a great weekend, and thanks for watching.

[@dansmodeluniverse]

Lovely job David, the green body finish is fantastic

[@PlasticImaginationWorkshop]

Thanks Dan! Have a great weekend 👍

[@JoseDiaz-nd9ic]

David great build btw. Yes the only reason the paint peeled off is because its not the correct paint for plastic models, its specific for inside clear parts of Radio control cars, (poly carbonate)...TS from Tamiya comes on nicely, specifically for Plastic Models. Love the new version of this model, thank you so much.....a wonderful video indeed and like I said before, awesome build! Thank you.

[@PlasticImaginationWorkshop]

Thank you so much. And thanks for watching, have a great day.

[@thescalemodelcarguychannel8681]

Absolutely gorgeous build and my favorite color ❤

[@PlasticImaginationWorkshop]

Thanks, I really like the color combination, too. Thanks for watching and have a great weekend 👍

[@user-no3hw5kd9p]

Nice assembly, primer must be compatible to the paint that you use temperature is important paint should be sprayed at about 70° or higher, Dupli-Color works great, with a clear coat , then it can be buffed out with a soft cloth after about 24 hours

[@PlasticImaginationWorkshop]

Thanks for the tips! And thanks for watching. Have a great week.

[@ramblers69]

Amazing job David!!!!

[@PlasticImaginationWorkshop]

Thank you, Tom. It really is a nice kit. Have a great weekend 👍

[@davidchin350]

I like that green 💚 👌 Mustang came out great😊

[@PlasticImaginationWorkshop]

Thanks, David. I really like how it turned out too. Thanks for watching and have a great weekend 👍

​@@PlasticImaginationWorkshop Boss 351 was available in 11 exterior colours and one of them was grabber lime,, which Tamiya light green is a good representation of.

[@howardharaway2259]

Looks like Revell did a really nice job on that carburetor I would hate to cover it up with a air cleaner. I wonder if there's a way to install micromagnets on the carburetor and on the air cleaner so you can remove them anytime you want ?

[@PlasticImaginationWorkshop]

I agree, it is a shame to hide it. The magnet idea is a good one, I may try that at some point. Have a great week and thanks again for watching.

[@JoseDiaz-kb3fs]

Great build, sorry you went through those paint issues..but all around great result.

[@PlasticImaginationWorkshop]

Thanks 👍It really is a great kit and with the exception of the paint issue, it was a really enjoyable build. Thanks for watching and have a great week.

[@JoseDiaz-kb3fs]

I very much want to hear your narration; however, the background sound obscures that. I am a Ford Mustang admirer, too. I eventually want to build a car carrier trailer (perhaps with a Ford 900 cab) with just Mustangs appropriate for the same year as the tractor.

[@PlasticImaginationWorkshop]

Thanks for the input on the audio, I've tried to male adjustments in the videos to make it easier to hear. That's a great idea you have about the Ford truck with a car carrier full of Mustangs. Thanks for watching, and have a great weekend 👍

New subscriber here nice channel and this is my next build. Yours looks great

[@PlasticImaginationWorkshop]

Welcome aboard!and thanks for subscribing! Have a great weekend.

[@southpaw5483]

Thank you for sharing. When assembling the engine, any challenges having the glue adhere to painted parts? For engine detailing, is that Enamel or Acrylic paint? cheers.

[@PlasticImaginationWorkshop]

You're welcome. You need to scrap off the paint where the parts connect or use some super glue. Workshop well both ways. All of the paint is acrylic except for the body color. I hope this helps, thanks for watching.

[@southpaw5483]

Thank you. That is what I thought, but I did not notice paint being scraped off before applying the "Tamiya extra thin" glue.

[@daniellebcooper7160]

A lovely model, im very imprest with the finished engine bay...but what is with the green diff housing?...they were ionized red.

[@PlasticImaginationWorkshop]

Thanks very much. As for the green diff housing, I just wanted to add a bit of color matching under the car. I also painted the sway-bar green as well. Just my personal touch. Thanks for watching, have a great weekend.

[@Rognvaldthepartworkbuilder]

If I did the 1971 mustang, I do it in black with the silver stripe kit

[@PlasticImaginationWorkshop]

I almost did this one the same way. Black with the silver. Thanks for watching and have a great week.

[@howardharaway2259]

It would be nice if model manufacturers would make REAL rubber tires. I would not mind paying extra.

[@PlasticImaginationWorkshop]

Real rubber tires would be nice but would definitely increase the prices.

[@howardharaway2259]

It doesn't look like you scrape off the paint where you make styrene glue joints ? Do you ? I wish we didn't have to scrape off the paint, and chrome LOL wait a minute ? My bad, you do scrape the paint off glue areas.

[@PlasticImaginationWorkshop]

Yes, I do scrape it off unless I am using super glue, then I typically don't. It would be nice of there was a better solvent that would work on plain and painted parts. Thanks for watching.

[@billeves4627]

Any reason why you used polycarbonate spray paint on the body? Do you normally use polycarbonate? Just asking as I want to paint a model metallic purple and it only comes in a PS. I was thinking it might not be suitable after seeing the problems you had with your paint job wrinkling.

[@PlasticImaginationWorkshop]

This was Tamiya paint and is specifically designed for plastic model kits. That said, this was a very old can of paint which is most likely the reason it had issues. I have used this same type of paint many times without issues. It's all part of building models, sometimes things go as planned, sometimes they don't. Thanks for watching, have a great weekend.

[@billeves4627]

@@PlasticImaginationWorkshop I noticed you were using PS Tamiya ipaint. PS paint is made specifically for spraying the inside of clear polycarbonate radio control car bodies. TS Tamiya spray is the correct paint for ordinary model car bodies.

[@davidmalton3894]

I noticed you... I'm wondering why you... What's with..... Isn't it supposed to... Why didn't you..... Geeze guys. Enjoy the video.
