Several years ago I bought 4 pair of Maketova Kola spoked wheels, 40 mm (about 1 9/16 inches) in diameter from Hobby Lobby to use on the model I am building of the Sikorsky Grand.
I subsequently realized that I needed 16 wheels for the plane, so I now need 8 more. I have contacted Hobby Lobby who no longer stock this line of wheels. I have also emailed the company and, apparently, one of their vendors in the Czech Republic several times hoping to place an order and have not received any reply.
Since the wheels are mounted in tandem pairs, I could make clear plastic wheels for the inner 8 wheels, but would prefer to be more prototypical, if possible.
Therefore, I'm asking if any of you know where I could purchase more wheels, preferably of the same part number (MK40-111) or any other suggestion?
