Hydroplanes ?

Aha!

 Have to tell you this though .The trailers on the Revell Bass boats reflected the trailers built by the trailer company or Ranger Bass Boats in their own plant for their own boats .

 The AMT ( Ski-Racing-Custom ) boat had a Dilly type trailer but it was rudimentary at best .

It was more the ski boat and bass boat that I was not sure about remembering.

I remember wanting one of these kist not so much for the boat, but for the trailer parts.  Even though a Dilly trailer is simple enough.  Other than the keel rollers and winch.

Hmm;

 I remember decals on my first one . Then clear coat with " Pactra " Clear . Trouble was the boat was a friend's model . He got sick and I built it for him while he was in the hospital .

No , CapnMac82 ;

 You did not have a faulty memory .The AMT kit first came with no trailer but a weird stand . Actually it turned out to be the proper way to trailer one .

 The boat at a forty five degree list on a special built rack on the trailer . You have to remember , even " Miss Budweiser " types were wider than a standard traffic lane between the lines .

 Nowadays they'd use an escort and wide load signs !

Apparently my search skills "suck" so Thank you again !

Nothing special, I just put "boat and trailer model kit" in the search bar.

Then just sorted through the answers by rote (since there were so few).

So, no sweat.

I was just happy that my memory was not whacky.

Biggest problem with that Miss Bud kit was the decals were not decals, but those stick-on vinyl appliques.

 Thats because AMT figured these kits would be used in water and they didnt want the decals to float off.

Academy did the same thing with their motorized  1/150 scale sub... and they still fell off!

Miss Budweiser "  disappeared when they had that flap about Cigarette and Beer advertising on Nascar items and Hydros marketed to kids  .

Yea theres a bunch of kits that got "censored" because children cant be trusted  LOL !

I suppose Goodyear  will get sued when a 5 year old suddenly feels "compelled "to buy  drag slicks !

Thank you CapnMac82 !  The Testors kit was  what I was looking for. I searched everywhere and never saw anything like it.

The price is a bit steep so it may or may not happen.

Apparently my search skills "suck" so Thank you again !

Hi!

I am sorry to say , I only remember the AMT " Miss Budweiser " Kit . I know there have been wooden ones , But , they were gas powered and about two to three foot long or longer ." Miss Budweiser "  disappeared when they had that flap about Cigarette and Beer advertising on Nascar items and Hydros marketed to kids  .

 To me that's stupid . If a person , Male or female , is going to drink or smoke they are going to . The ads and other stuff didn't make me desire to . Nor did the Swastikas on the Bismark make me want Nazism in my life . It's history for gosh sakes . I have looked for over thirty five years now and have not even gotten a whisper of one .

 If I found one worth having that wasn't toast , I would probably Put my old company Logo on it . Candy Green , British Racing Green , a Dragon the length of it with a star in his fore talons . Just for Dragonstar Inc.

I love building those old hydroplanes, especially the Unlimiteds.  The Miss Bud kit  was of so-so quality, butcan be fixed up with some work. I did buy one online from a guy who started building one, then made mistakes, bought another for spare parts, and then gave up and sold it to me.  The big advantage of that was that I then had a spare Allison engine to use in a scratch project for Tempo V (I know of no kit for the later).

Biggest problem with that Miss Bud kit was the decals were not decals, but those stick-on vinyl appliques.

I want to remember a kit of Miss Budweiser of indifferent quality.

Memory is not serving to recall if in 1/24 or not.

I do not remember a trailer for the kit, though.

There was--if fickle memory does not fail me, a "ski boat" and trailer which might have come with a pickup truck.

Ok, went round to eBay,  Miss Budweiser in 1/25

A Revell hydroplane kit with trailer in 1/25 (I think)
