Dafixer Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Has anybody had any luck getting replacement decals from Academy? I bought a new F-4J kit on-line from an overseas ebay seller and the kit did not come with decals. I sent an email to academy "corporate" but never got a response.

ST0RM Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 As said, go with aftermarket. Less headache. I gave up on corporate customer service after writing them about kits that were missing parts (or short shot). No replies... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dafixer Posted October 6, 2020 Author Share Posted October 6, 2020 I've never used modern Academy decals so I thought it was a question worth asking. I've had good success with some manufacturers getting spare parts: Kinetic and Tamiya spring to mind as the gold standard, but I was also successful getting a replacement part from Meng with a little more hair pulling. No luck on Airfix and now apparently, no dice on Academy either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
