Dennis, the first company that makes a MM model will have atlest 1,000 sold to our members, but that hasn't been made yet. Check on ebay to see the guy that has been making the conversion MM that some members have bought.

First I want to state that I have no personal intrest beyond the transaction discribed and trying to provide information to question that shouldn't conflict with supporting vendors (of whom I appreciate the most).

I Purchased a "custom Mini Marauder" from Skull Bros. CollectibleZ in michigan. E-mail: Skulbroscollectibletoyz@worldn et.att.net Phone 586-805-3909-Rich

I actually got 2 made in different scale. They are modified Crown Vic's and although not perfect, they are fixed up to look as close to a Marauder as Ive seen. He asked me colors and options, He even added the rear spoiler to mine.

I used to see those from Skull Bros on ebay from time to time. I thought they were too expensive. Then I stumbled on this one yesterday:

Whew!

But that one is supercharged!

The funny thing is that when adjusted for scale and proportion it makes the full sized supercharger look like one heck of a deal. A little over 17% of origional MSRP (36K) for the full size compared to about 2.5X the MSRP cost of a non-supercharged 1:18 scale model.

Think about it like how much would gears or a chip cost?

jeremyYep those are the supercharged ones, they do look nice but the "red" looks off. Maybe just due to picture quality?

Question since the supercharger is factory installed how will that effect warranty? Better yet does anybody know of an 1:18 scale dyno......
