Dave Toups Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Does anyone have this kit? What's the casting quality like? It's a car I've wanted for a LONG time and was thinking about ordering it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jas1957 Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 (edited) I'd like to hear about this company also, was just looking at what they have available. Some very interesting cars, the Bentley Continental caught my eye. Edited September 27, 2013 by jas1957 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

george 53 Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 I THINK it's out of Sweden, or Norway. I've heard the name, andJuha Airio's name comes to mind with that also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dimaxion Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 I did buy these when first out from Air Trax :Anglia (106) , the Cortina ('60's) and the Volvo P1800 . These are WIP's for me . I would buy more as Julia's group are fantastic modelers . I am not able to buy anything now from them regretabally . I'll look at their site and drool anyway . I would not hesitate to purchase again from Air Trax . IIRC . Julia was at a Toledo Show awhile back . A great Modeler and a real great person , not a fake . Thanx ..

Elliot949 Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 I have their Dodge Mirada... it is very nice... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W-409 Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Air Trax kits are very nice. I've bought a couple of bodies that were damaged during the molding process when AirTrax was selling them at a local Model Car Show. I can't even notice how some of them are damaged. Juha has built one of these. These pictures certainly won't do the justice to Juha's work. That, and all of his builds are spectacular in person.

Plasticfanatic Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 I have the Dodge Mirada, very nice casting and detail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jas1957 Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 I just received an email reply from them, they have some really interesting stuff available. NOT inexpensive though, I suppose shipping across the pond is part of that. I will have to do some hard thinking to decide if a model kit is worth $ 160.

Swifster Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I also got an e-mail back from them. What interests me is the Ferrari 330 GTC, the BMW 2002, and the Triumph TR4. Doing the currency exchange, 80 Euros is $109. Shipping of course is extra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxer Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 (edited) Air-Trax is high quality resin work. They are expensive, but worth every penny. I have a Triumph TR4A I've started that is the only game in town for this car I owned. It is a bit thick and I believe one of their first bodies, but the casting is dead on correct.. The quality of their newer bodies is even better. Edited November 10, 2013 by Foxer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antikainen Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 I have this Marauder, three different Saab 96 kits, Triumph Herald, Peugeot 404, Taunus 17M, Volvo P1800, Volvo Amazon, Dodge Lancer STW, Simca Vedette, Dodge Mirada, Ford Cortina and Ford Anglia. Some older body castings are a bit thick, newer are thinner but castings are correct in all kits. I really can´t recommend these kits highly enough, they are simply said really nice kits. Many of these kits come with PE- parts also! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Ellis Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 I have not found any place/site that sells this Mercury Maurader resin kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W-409 Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 I have not found any place/site that sells this Mercury Maurader resin kit. Bob, send an E-Mail to raurata@yahoo.com. Last weekend, it was a Model Contest called Nordic Challenge here in Finland. Juha's Marauder was also there (The one I posted those pictures of) and there was the piece of paper next to every model with model's name and a short description. On Juha's Marauder, there read that it's built from AMT '69 Galaxie. That must have required lots of cutting and slicing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim boyd Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Man, Juha's Marauder is SPECTACULAR! Just WOW! I have the AirTrax '69 Chrysler 300 and '80 Mirada kits. TIM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember folks, we're talking about a man that turns Ramblers into Studebakers and shows us that 1955 Plymouths and Chevrolets can share lots of parts with a little massaging... I wish I could blow the dough for one of these. I always thought the Marauder was a cool-looking ride. That satin black trunk, especially when paired with copper or red looks so good. And I usually don't like the satin black thing, but somehow, on this car, it looks right. Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imatt88 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Hey all, I heard that there was a new resin '70 Marauder kit out there, but I can't seem to find much info about it.. Is it true, and if so, where do I get one........ Cheers, Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
