(Pics) 1964 Mercury Marauder
For '64 Mercury produced a big, powerful and good-looking Marauder. This is Yat Ming's version of it from a number of years back.

That 2nd pic reminds me of AMT Turnpike slot cars. Really cool Mike.
I have always liked this model. Great pictures Mike.
Great pics as always Mike! Big, beautiful and powerful! Those were the days!
Awesome pics Mike..... Great show.
Wow, that pic with the B-70 is outstanding !
Mike, a little joke there huh ? The B-70's maiden flight was September '64.
PICS - Like these? I use to buy 'em, refurbish 'em, and then resell them on eBay.

The Valkyrie is one of my favorite aircraft.
I thought the '64 Marauder was the coolest looking Merc ever [PIC}
The super Marauder was a NASCAR badass and it even took the Pikes Peak race that wear. I had a rich neighbor that had his with the 427 4 speed setup.
I bought Tat Ming's first release in an uninspiring white. I did a lot of blackwashing and made wheel well trim and some other detailing foiling the painted trim. I never got around to raising those droopy mufflers and pipes. It's as close as I'll ever get to owning the real thing.

Yes! Just like those.
What everyone (well, most everyone..) fails to note about this model is the top. Yatming, to their
credit, replicated a factory "simulated" convertible top. This was a FoMoCo option that covered the
top with a "crinkle finish." Adding to the illusion is the "bow crease" stamped in the rear.
Another year Mercury I really liked.
