Replacement 1/20 Red Bull RB6 Tamiya decals wanted

Hi am wondering if anybody has any idea where u can get some replacement 1/20 Red Bull RB6 Decals. I have damaged four decals on my build of the car,the two rear wing end plate decals totally fried after applying 2k zero over Tsmiya TS 89,the monocoque 3 stripe decals damaged after thenpaint run a bit,so will need to reapply these four again! Should have used the same lacquer Ts13,but like an idiot trying to be clever! Any help would be greatly appreciated for this dilemma,thanks in advance.

I think Eric is right on, .....My kit came with a notice that to obtain replacement decals, you must provide the old sheet (or whatever is left at catastrophe time anyway), or no dice !  So I think the reigns on these decals are pretty tight.  I'm sure that's straight from Red Bull, as they have been pretty proprietary about anything RB that comes out, from the beginning.  I have one of the 1/18 scale Redbull X20s from Autoart coming soon, just to photograph, and I'm surprised they let that one happen, although it's a on paper only concept, first time in 3D, as apposed to copying existing real racecars, so no worries about it I guess.  Still, I'm surprised that got released....

Moral of the story is to decal "wisely" when it comes to the RB6.

Gents,

Well,thanks for the replies have contacted the Tamiya Importer over here in Uk,and they were kind enough to supply me with a price £28.50 for a new set of decals. Ouch! It hurt a bit,on reflection decided to buy another kit off my favourite supplier in Japan for £33! Well thought I may as well go for the second Red Bull,it seems it is difficult to support your local hobby shop nowadays when the prices are quite different in the World market place.
