Hi everyone, I've been searching for at least a year and a half, two sets of rubber wheels for my 1/35 Academy #2201 MH-60G Pave Hawk and also for my 1/48 also Academy #12209 CH-53E U.S. Marines version. I wasn't lucky at all and even Gino (I haven't forget you) gave up on that search. BTW, I, me, myself & moi prefer rubber wheels to those in plastic. It's a personal choice.
On a good health day, I found (can't remember how) them: http://modelgrad.com/equipage-rubber-wheels.html and through them, I contacted their info email and Vsevolod Karateev answered that he could get them for me. These (custom made) costs me with S&H from Russia (with love) to Quebec, Canada 32$us funds for this:
They sell (Vsevolod words): 500+ 1/48 and 1/72 Russians, Luftwaffe, US rubber wheels with resin rims and other related items - model kits, decals, books, magazines and if you do not see what you need, you can ask him and as in my case, he delivers.
I'm very happy with the results even if I do not have rims for both my choppers, I'll have to cut/dremel and sands away the wheels to fit my rubber tires to the models.
Hope I made sense, I am still high on Fentanyl.
Marc
ps: Gino, let me get better and I'll send my 240 to you. Had to dictate this to my kid while lying down. Still not very strong. We don't pay for healthcare but they don't keep you in hospital if they can ship you home.

Hello everyone. I received 2 days ago, the rims for my Rubber wheels for my 2 choppers in my stash. I still don't feel strong enough healthwise to start building my stuff but slowly I'm getting some A-M stuff to add.
Here are the rims for my 1/48 CH-53E and my 1/35 MH-60G found at Modelgrad/Equipage, they give excellent service and shipping, even from Russia is fast and not expensive.
Take care everyone and most of all: watch your health because when it starts messing with you, trust me, you cannot win unless you have lot's of free time to fight.
