From this thread: http://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=24555
I am trying to duplicate the box art colors. Since pactra is no longer around I cannot get the two pactra colors below. Some online shops say they have the pactra colors but when you call, they don't really have it in stock.

Does anyone have a good substitute they have used for the pactra Blue Streak and Sprint White colors?

Tamiya PS-19 Camel Yellow main body
Tamiya PS-33 Cherry Red accent stripe
Tamiya PS-3 Light Blue accent stripe
Pactra RC251 Sprint White accent stripe (no longer available)
Pactra RC252 Blue Streak accent stripe (no longer available)

I'm trying to duplicate this:

Great job!
Plus the fact you used paint and not decals.

I wonder what Scr8p thinks. :D

I did not paint that. That is what I am trying to accomplish but the following colors are no longer available:

Pactra RC251 Sprint White accent stripe (no longer available)
Pactra RC252 Blue Streak accent stripe (no longer available)

My question was, has anyone found replacement colors?

Ahhh minor oversight.
Well good-luck in your duplication efforts.

Not sure if you know but they have the decals available for everything except the black an orangey yellow colours

Yes, I am aware. I'd rather have it painted though.

I would think the Tamiya PS-30 Brilliant Blue would work as well as the PS-1 White. Not positive on the blue, but it looks very close.
