Default 5" Vintage Willaims Bros #133

Hi all
I have a WW1 project that will be built and finished with silk and dope, but just needs wheels to complete the list.

If you have a pair of these wheels and will part with them I will be happy to pay you more than fairly.

Thx
Mike

Have you thought of the Du-Bro wheels?

Actually, Dubro does make 1/6 scale vintage wheels that are the correct size.
I'm building a Top Flite SE5a that is 1/6 scale so the Dubro 4.66" wheel are the correct size. Apparently the 5" Williams Bros wheels were all that was available when Dave Platt designed the model, and are actually too big, but no one notices. The tires on this and other WW1 fighters were 700mm=27.5596" divided by 6 equals 4.66"...........yay
Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.
