Duplicate decals from kit manufacturers

I would like to see extra PE pieces also- in fact even more than decals.  Some kit makers or accessory vendors do supply extra for the small pieces.  They can sure go flying across the room easily.

Both would drive the prices of the kit higher. Will the manufacturers take it into consideration? No.

Silver,

Thanks for your note. I have bought aftermarket decals when available (I think the last set was for the P-400 Airacobra). It's probably the best way to go to finish a more realistic model. I also like the idea to order a second set of decals from the kit manufacturer; however, I'm not sure they will send them for free (Tamiya doesn't). They charge about $3.50 plus P&H so it costs about $6-$8. It's not even so much the money just the inconvenience and frustration. I also like the idea of printing a duplicate set of decals but I'm not sure how to do it.

As for the carpet monster, my wife seems better at finding "microscopic" PE parts--basically by rubbing her open hand around on the rug (this probably can't be done with shag rugs--if they're still around!).

Regards,

Bob

Losing small parts and PE can be stressful. I usually grab one of those LED flashlights and often times, I am on the floor with flashlight laid out on floor and start scanning the area hoping to find the shadow or glint of a PE part. Insofar I have yet lost any small part.PE pieces forever.

It is amazing how far a small piece of PE will fly when you launch it from tweezer jiggle!
