- Today on the WorkBench, I am working on the 1999 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra by Monogram. I picked this kit up at my local Ollie’s wholesale a few weeks ago. I am surprised at how much detail is in this kit.
The separate individual parts for the suspension system is awesome as well as the overall flash content, or should I say lack of flash content.
This looks to be an awesome build, so stick around until the end to see how it comes out. Oh, because I have been having a devil of a time getting a great paint job on my builds lately, I am going back to my roots and going full on acrylic paint and clear on this build.
I hope that you enjoyed watching this video as much as I did building the kit.

dang couple of guys were just saying i dont have enough mustangs got 5 now what 3 more or 4 shit svt cobra snake hell yeah 🤩
Can anyone really have too many Mustangs? Go ahead and add a few more, what the heck... Auto World just released another AMT 1966 Ford Mustang Fastback 2+2 recently. So if you don't have one, or four of those already you may want to pick up another one right? LOL ! Thanks for watching!
Nice job. I might go try this one myself!
Thank You! You should give this one a try. It was a fun build overall and was one of the cleanest kits I have seen in a while.
I’m new to the model car scene. Picked this exact model kit up at Ollie’s, would be my third kit, first Mustang. Hand-painted everything, for some reason, dropped it MANY, MANY times, used cheap glue on the headlights so now the headlight glass is white, decals are crooked, used a black sharpie to outline the taillights, and the tiny fog lights ROCKED. MY. SHIT. Everytime I accidentally knocked this car down onto the carpet, I would pray to all the beings above that the fog lights didn’t escape… and they did. The tiny Mustang emblem was traumatizing, wrangled that pony like a cowboy for 20 minutes before I got it on there straight and strong. Overall, very nice kit for the price. Loved seeing how your’s turned out.
Wow! Sounds like you had your hands full with this one... Being that this was your third kit, it sounds like you're doing pretty well. There will be times when everything goes together great, and other times that it won't. Don't let the difficult kits get to you. When you are working with clear parts, don't use the same glue on them that you use to say, put the engine halves together. That glue will fog clear parts. There are plenty of other adhesives that you can use that won't fog the clear parts. I use Mod Podge for the clear parts, and it dries clear without fogging. That little Mustang emblem is a pain to get into place for plenty of people. To tell the truth, it could have been engineered better. Like most things in life, the more you do that thing, the better you will get at doing it. Sounds to me like you did pretty well with this one, and I'm pretty sure you'll do better with the next one, and your building skills will improve in time. If you ever get to a point where a kit is frustrating you, just set it aside, take a break, and come back to it after a little while. IMHO, these kits are getting too expensive to destroy or throw away just because they do not fit together well for the moment. Good luck with your future projects, and thank you for watching my video.
Just bought one can’t wait to build it
It's a great build. Just be careful when putting the rear wheels on the "axles". It's not a very sturdy connection. Other than that it went together fairly easy. Thanks for watching!
@@scaleautoguysworkbench I think I’m gonna make mine a nice yellow
@KingBeattyGaming 2 I had considered Yellow for mine but decided to go with a little bit of pizazz. I also love colorshifting paints. For that era of Mustang Yellow, Red and Black were very popular colors.
I really enjoyed this one. That color really fits that era of Mustang. Excellent work!
Thanks! I'm glad that you enjoyed the video. I really like the colorshift paints. They add that extra little kick to the build.
I go to Ollie's regularly looking for their bargains on classic and muscle car kits. Because I am not a modern cars enthusiast and the box art makes it look toyish, I keep overlooking the SVT Mustang. Watching your video made me look at it with a different perspective. Will definitely buy it on my next visit.
I am like you, not a huge fan of the modern car kits, but I'm also not a fan of building the same old muscle cars from the 60s and 70s over and over again. Once in a while, I like to change things up and build something that I have never considered building before. Even if the box art isn't the greatest representation of the product inside of the box. Sometimes, it can be a great thing to step outside of ones comfort zone. I hope that you get this kit and have fun building it!
Got myself 2 of these kits to have one stock and one modified. This video helped a ton with that rear suspension and seeing how I can do my modifications, thank you.
I'm glad that I could help you in some way. Good luck with your builds, they sound like they are going to be nice! Thanks for watching!
Very cool cobra
Thanks! It was a pretty cool kit.
Great video. Very nice work building the model. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! It was a great build even with the rear axle being a little sketchy.
That was a great video showing exactly how the kit was built. It came out as a really nice build.
Thank You! It was a nice build. This kit had zero flash so it was nice to actually get right into building without spending 30-40 minutes cleaning the parts up.
Great build, excellent color choices and good call on making note of those decal hiccups. Oh, and that itsy-bitsy pony emblem on the grill is such a pain! 🤣
Thank you. It took me a minute to get that horse to sit in the right place.
I just bought this kit tonight
It's a pretty fun build although that rear axle setup is a little frustrating to deal with. Make sure that you follow the part numbers carefully because there are a bunch of extra parts included in the kit. Good Luck!
Great deals from Walmart especially for $15😊
This was a great deal from Ollie's. It's almost like going back in time to 2003.
Very nice! I built one of these. The only thing that bothers me on this kit and the Vette Dream rides kit is that the ride height is a little too high for my liking. Other than that they're pretty good putting together.
Thank you! Now that you mention it, the ride height is a little on the high side and I just thought that it was me... Still, the kit builds up nice despite of the few flaws. I didn't like the rear axle set up. When I tried to attach the rear wheels I felt like I was going to break something. That's why I opted to just glue the rears in place.
@@scaleautoguysworkbench yea same here. The axles are too thin so you have to press slightly or they can snap
Very nice build, I really enjoy your step by step guidance. I built this same model and used a shade of purple on mine too. I like your color better, I have a question, you mentioned that you paint the hood of your kit with the body, how do you keep the hood from sticking ? I have the same variation in color if I paint my hood separately. You did a very good job, thank you for sharing! 👍👍👍
Thank you! To be honest, I'm not sure how it is that the hood never sticks on me. It never does and I never really put much thought into the possibility that it might. I put the hood in place either by its own support, or I tape it in place, then spray... I don't know how much paint you're applying but I apply just enough to get full coverage and an even coat. I don't go overboard with the paint because it covers up the small details. Things like door and trim lines, lettering etc. It might be the type and or the amount of paint being applied that makes the difference. As you may be aware, I mostly use craft paints. They generally, when thinned correctly, go on fairly thin and are less tacky then an enamel from a can. They dry quicker than enamel from a can due to the different makeup of the paint itself. All of these can be a factor, but to tell you the truth about it, I honestly don't know how I keep the hoods from sticking closed. Might I suggest that if this is a problem that you're experiencing, look at how much paint you're applying to see if that might be the issue. Good luck and I hope this helps you out.
I do use spray cans, I never had much luck with air brushing, I probably had my pressure set correctly . Im going to try your ideas out on my building and try to not use to much paint. Thank you for replying back! Have a great day!!
@@haroldburch541You're very welcome! I always like to chat with folks. Good luck with your next project, I hope that it turns out well.

It has potential...
Good job my friend I have the same one I'm working on right now at the same place but I am confused as to should I use the intake parts with the cobra emblem there is 2 I don't know which one to use
This kit had a bunch of extra parts. So, it was difficult to decide for me as well. I ended up using the Cobra intake because, after all, it is a Cobra Mustang. Both of those intakes look a lot alike. I'm guessing that either one will work on that engine. Which one to use? That is your choice... Have Fun
@@scaleautoguysworkbench Thank you
Thank you for sharing. Are you thinning any of the Acrylic Paints prior to painting? Are the parts all Primed before applying the Acrylic Paint? Wishing you continued success.
Thank you for the questions! Yes, I do thin my acrylics before spraying them. Over the years I have used several different thinning agents. For a while I was using ModelMaster acrylic thinner until I ran out and it was no longer available. I then switched over to distilled water. That worked fairly well but drying time had increased slightly. I found what I am currently using at Hobby Lobby for a decent price and gave it a try. It's called Masters Touch Flow Medium. It works really well, that is if I don't over thin the paint... I always prime all of the parts before top coating them. It is necessary to prime, especially with acrylic paint. If you don't prime the paint can be easily removed by your fingertips, never mind anything else that comes into contact with the paint. The paint needs something to bond to so, prime everything.Thanks for watching!
@@scaleautoguysworkbench How about the Hand Brushing Acrylic Paint? thinning as well or straight from the pot?
@Southpaw When I apply by hand, it's straight from the bottle. The purpose of thinning for spraying is because the paint is too thick to spray and must be thinned.
@@scaleautoguysworkbench Thanks again; I tend to get more brush strokes than what I see on videos. I may be pressing too hard or using too long of paint strokes; I need to refine my skills, more practice......
@Southpaw craft paints can be a little tricky. I have one bottle of flat black that coats really well and another that has to be babied to get good coverage. It all depends on the brand, I guess.
Lol just picked one up from ollies myself
I think that you will have a lot of fun with this! Just be mindful of that rear suspension. Its not horribly difficult, just a little tricky.
Great video, great kit. My only issue was that you took way too long talking about the issue with the decal numbering. Everything else was awesome.
Thank You! Sorry for the rambling on about the decals. I guess that I was trying to get them straight in my own mind and at the same time letting folks know about a potential hiccup that they may encounter. Sometimes, this kind of stuff happens...
I can't believe someone is still using tube glue!
What is so unbelievable about that? It's still available on the market. The price is right. It works well for me and I'm not paying huge bucks to buy it. If you know what you're doing with it, it works just as well as anything else. Let's just say that "I'm old school" and leave it at that... Cheers!
Tube glue works great for certain parts that need to be held in place!
@Scale Auto Guys Workbench my personal experience with it is pretty bad. There so many other (much better) glues on the market, I just didn't think anyone still used it is all. Happy modeling.
Red please
I'm sorry, it's already done in that color. I do have a few different builds in red if you would like to see those.
