Hello Rc boating community. I?m a new here so I?ll try to make it simple without confusion lol. I?ve been wanting a Miss Budweiser Rc gas boat for some time now and my dream came true. I have her little sister the nitro 1/12th scale and was able to score a 1/8th scale without an engine but with running gear aka prop. That didn?t bother me non because I?ll change everything. Getting this rare bird was my final purchase or what I told my wife. Fast forward to today, it was delivered and with the child in me at Christmas opening the box up in yard was shot down in flames by what ups did to my package. Yes it was dropped. The shaft is bent! Repairable. Sponson is cracked! That to is repairable, but this makes me sick to my stomach but its only a boat. Leaving one thing out. Does anyone know the proper paint color for my baby?
I have heard sikkens red, I may be wrong. I have pics included of what these )&/?*$s did to my boat. Hope to get some answers. I know I?ll get them there.

Hey nitro belated Merry Christmas and happy holidays to you! A lot has happened since my last post lol. I was able to have my buddy down my boat club make the repair. He had the boat for a couple of months. My biggest issue like stated was getting the color match. Well I got it back and she?s doing fine! He had the camera and they shot it. Came back victory red or which was a corvette color. Ford race red. also. He made the repairs and they came out absolutely stunning. Got it back Christmas Eve to give to my son for a present. Now I just purchased a miss Elam from eBay that I received damaged and in process of fixing now too. Did a lot of research and was able to find the house of Kolor code. A buddy dug through some research and found a thread email on line about the color. Eric Ellstrom replied which was the owner and was very nice to give the color code. I did all the repair with west system and I think it came out great. All reinforced now. I also was able to find a company that does the graphics so I?ll bring her back to her glory days in some time. Here are some pics and thank you for getting back to me.
