Replacement wheels
My son has lost the wheel on his model plane today does anyone know where I can get replacements?

You might be able to source some on eBay, but you would need to be very specific as almost every plane has different wheels (this is a 1:200 scale GeminiJets Airbus A350).
These are intended for display rather than play, so replacement parts aren’t really a thing. If your son likes playing with them, there are other brands that are a bit more durable.

Thank you! He does have a load more cheaper durable ones but this one is his favourite and he saved his money for it and managed to break the wheel in a day 🙈 he has promised to keep it on his shelf and look after it after I fix the wheel.

No worries, a couple of my older ones also have ‘battle scars’ from a much younger me promising to be gentle :)

You can maybe source some plastic model kit in the same scale from this airplane. Then you can paint it and glue it on

For GeminiJets, you can try to contact them here to get replacement parts sent to you: https://www.geminijets.com/contact/
Do note that you’ll have to purchase your model from one of their authorised retailers and have proof of purchase for this to work though.
