Norm Veber answers his phone promptly during business hours so you can order by phone using the info Harry provided. Personally, I usually make my inquiriees and order from them via e-mail, attaching a document with my order and billing info, etc. Norm Veber's e-mail for RepMin is replmincomd@aol.com . He's very prompt about answering.

Most retailers are very selective about what they carry from him, since his catalog is so huge. You'll need to find one that caries what you're looking for in their line. Otherwise, ordering direct ensures you'll find what you need.

A few other points. Shipping is a flat $7.50 via US mail delivery confirmation. If I recall correctly, there is a minimum order of $20.00. He takes MasterCard and Visa.

Replicas & Miniatures makes some of the finest resin parts in the after market. I highly recommend you spend the $4.00 and get the catalog. There's over 30 pages of descriptions of many of the parts he offers and its well worth it. However, sometimes Norm is very backed up and he indicates that orders can take as much as 6 weeks to fill, although my experience has been that wait times are somewhat shorter. This may be a reason to order through a web retailer if you can find what you need, but my experience has been that this is very difficult.

Antonio,

I'll add that giving Norm a call is a great idea, he is super nice over the phone and can help you out in maybe finding other items to buy..lol(he has stuff not listed in the catalogs) I made a big order with him last summer, and did it all over the phone...super A+ guy and he offers some great parts.

You got that right Gray. Whereas I mainly e-mail Norm, either way he can be extremely helpful with your needs. You would be amazed what he has that's not in the catalog. In many cases he has mastered stuff for his own use or for others that seemed, at the time, too obscure to promote in the catalog but which turned out to be just what I (and no doubt, others) needed. For example one item not in the catalog is a complete conversion set to make one of the gorgeous competition-only Nailheads in the Revell Tommy Ivo Showboat kit into a street engine, including accessory drive and transmission. Apparently this item was only shown locally at MAMA meetings and popped up on someone's build on one of the boards which is where I saw it. I was all over that one like a cheap suit! So, e-mail or phone, tell Norm about your needs ... you'll both be pleased. :rolleyes:

I just want to point out one correction. Norm was backed up on orders LAST YEAR, due to various reasons.

Norm is back to normal on shipping parts. Most people get their parts within one to two weeks.

You can call, as noted or email:
