finally attached the undercarriage complete with painted wheels. Two days l=
ater a drunken friend knocked the box which contained the drying model off =
the table. Everything was OK until I noticed that the crash had broken the =
left hand wheel axle. When I touched it, as one does, it came off in me han=

es any one have any suggestions?=20
=C2=A0=C2=A0 If I had another wheel axle I could build another version as W=

iage with the wheels on as I know the dangers but I wanted to see what it l=
ooked like. It looked great. beware of drunken friends.I do not drink.=20

<P>I empathize.&nbsp; I just had that happen to me on a 1/48 scale Pfalz DI=

e correct size tubing (or rod), drill out the hole in the wheel then insert=
 a&nbsp;piece of tubing that will slide over the new axle.&nbsp; This will =
