okay okay im being a little over dramatic. but today i went to put on the engine decal and it got washed down the sink

is there any way i could get new decals without buying the whole kit again?

Call Tamiya toll-free: 1-800-TAMIYA-A

I don't know if they'll give you a new sheet free, or if they'll charge you, but if they have one, they'll get it to you...

awww....poor guy, I did that once a few years ago and I never apply decals near a sink after.

Fill a container with warm, not hot, water. Cut and dip the decals at your desk or workspace. Stay away from the sink!!

Don't rinse parts in a sink either. I had a bad experience when a rear-view mirror went down the drain. I had to fish it out with tape.

And I lost my airbrush pick-up tube down the drain once.

Sinks are bad news! :o
