For replacement landing gear wheels, order the DuBro 4" Diameter Wheel (DUBQ0845). They are slightly larger than the original wheels but will fit. If axles are needed, order the 3/16 x 2" Axle Shafts (DUBQ1115). The holes in the landing gear will have to be slightly enlarged.
If a replacement fuel tank is needed, order the Sullivan 24oz tank (SULQ1444), or the DuBro 24oz tank (DUBQ0224). Some minor trimming and modifications may be required.
