indeed i was, since revell germany wanted a payment of 40 dlls in bank transfer, this cost 45 dlls, so i said no, some weeks later i got an envelope from revell monogram and in it the replacements decals i lost, and did not pay a dime!!!!Maestro said:You were very lucky, 262. Generally, they make you pay shipping. That's the case for Revell/Monogram in US. $3.00 inside the US and $5.00 for shipping to Canada. Taken from the Revell/Monogram (US) web site :
In order to continue the high level of consumer service you have become accustomed to, Revell Monogram is now charging a shipping and handling fee for all parts orders as follows: $3 to the 48 contiguous United States, $5 to Alaska and Hawaii, and $5 to Canada. All payments must be made in U.S. dollars.
But may be their German sister company doesn't really bother with that...

another is to search in your spare parts/broken parts.
you need to practice( trial and error)
also some tools like all kind of knifes, files, needle files, pliers clamps,jewler saw,sanding sticks, drill bits( from the regulars ones to the very fine 61-80 index) and most important :
imagination and the need to do it!!!!!!
