click on lost parts


now, this has me tickled pink!

Take your revell box #, and the part# from your instruction manual, punch it in.

basically , i pay 5 dollars canadian for shipping and i will be getting a new itr body, a new engine, a new set of rims/tires and also, a new sheet of decal's!. how can i go wrong?

hold on ...wait

so your saying that if i just get a kit from a friend and say i lost it...they will give me an entire hit for like a 1/4 of the price...sweeeeeet

im trying it

[freakray]

It works......:frog:

[SilverLotus340R]

But the Revell ITR kit is a 1/25 scale, so how's it gonna fit your Fujimi project?

[rcmaxx]

you dont get a hole kit, its suppost to be a lost parts deal, you paint only for shipping ans they replace a parts, say you lost a windshield they will send it to you, all you pay is shipping, you can orde rup to 11 times I think.

Some people cheat the system and order cool looking wheels or engine, however, you gotta remenber that in revell kits each wheels has a #, so a set of wheels is 4 parts, plus 4 tires, you already have 8 things. I also think you can only order those 11 parts. since it is a replacement part service, and they KNOW you will not have that many missing parts is so many kits.

the only thing i have to make fit is the body and interior.......


im ordering new rubber, and body/interior that's it, unless i get greedy!

gonna say i bought it from a butcher model shop downtown and they charged me 15 bux for it......etc etc blah blah........


i have lots of putty, im going to make the car fit! im gonna make door's open too, (or try at least!)

[tenzoracerevovii]

oh shit. That's pretty damn cool. So you can get like, a whole ITR body though. That's one part. Thats a pretty good idea. I'm gonna have to do that. hahaha

this is sad to hear guys! this is like, cheating a benevolent company (seriously, Revell-Monogram is quite benevolent, I've ordered dozens of lost parts before at no extra cost...) but this is taking it a bit too far I think...

order what you need, but don't go on trying to order an entire kit... Revell-Monogram kits ain't that expensive anyhow...

5. This service is for US and Canadian residents only.


ow man!!~ I am living in Singapore!

[jaykit21]

It would be cool if Tamiya did this! Really though, a Revell ITR costs what... $8.00-$10.00 at WalMart or hobby stores? By the time you pay $5-6 for shipping and bother to order the crap its not worth it. Why bother? :monkeypis

I agree. what if Revell or any company for that matter stop offering parts because of people like you ripping them off for shit that you can buy cheap. and what if some other person really lost or got damaged parts what about him he cant get nothing because you and everyone else who has done this caused the model companies to stop offering a service. this only for service not a "i want parts because thyre cool and im to cheap to buy service".


i dont think i want to be part of this board if people do shit like this

you people say these kits are cheap?

hello mr.highnmighty

the cheapest i can get a R-M kit for is 20 bucks canadian, the god damn revell ITR costed me over 30 bucks...and by paying "shipping" we are paying for the part............and you think r-m cannot afford a few cheap spare part's? a multi-billion dollar company?............if they didnt want people to order parts even if they already had them, they would NOT offer the service!.......but i dont care what you do, because you will have no impact on my life or what i do within my life........nor will i........

for one thats your problem their money sucks in my opinion and american money is extremely corrupted. and another thing dont buy kits from a damm hobby shop(youll just get ripped off)

try ModelCarKits.com his prices are the cheapest here in the US
he only carries domestic kits revell amt and such he also has sales where kits are almost near nothing cheapest kit ever sold by HH was 3.50
and im guessing you dont have a job because you cant seem to affora a 20 canadian for a revell kit

i vote on a new form of currency for the entire world Glass,Beads and Dirt all of this is extremly abundant and we all can live like billionaires.
