Old Tamiya Decals...Need Help or New Decals
Was going through some unfinished kits today and discovered that my Tamiya 93 Castrol Toyota Celica Monte Carlo kit's decals are beginning to crack. The questions I have is can I still apply them (probably in pieces), is there anything I can coat them with so I can apply them in one peice, does anyone have Tamiya USA's phone number (the web site isn't loading at the moment) so I can call them anf hope they have a set, or does anyone have a spare, complete, set I can have/buy?

If you cannot get replacements from Tamiya America. Get some Microscale liquid decal film. It will save them and it leaves no brush marks. Note that that kit was made at a time when Tamiya was having some problems with decals cracking and this not typical for Tamiya. Don't apply them cracked it will drive you crazy chasing the pieces around.

I have over 30 unbuilt kits in my closet and I keep all the decal sheets inside a big ziplock bag hoping I will not have this problem.
So far so good.

Cool, thanks guys. I guess it's off to the hobby shop tomorrow...oh darn.
As for the problem with it cracking...I've never had this problem(until now), but I have heard of it happening to others. Just couldn't remember if there was a fix or not. Thanks.
