You probably won't find the scale wheel so you'll have to make due with a 1.5 inch wheel thats wide.

If you do not mind paying real BIG bucks for it, go to Glennis wheels.

RE: scale tail wheel

Jeff,
The Robart 1 1/2 scale wheel does come apart. It is split into halves. Just carve out the inside of both halves just enough to position the wheel collar in between . Slide on one side then the wheel collar, then the other half , then add the wheel cover [spoked] and your done .
Not so hard to do ,and not a small fortune ,and avoid the heavy tailwheel from Glennis .
