R Model diecast

In Germany at the moment inspecting the "troops" so to speak.  My son trashed the Charlie Kemp R Model I gave him several years ago. I discovered it upstairs in the attic missing two wheels. I was able to recover the rear wheel. The front one remains missing. I wonder if I can find a replacement.  The body is fully intact. Maybe I can find a diecast jack stand for it if I cannot find another wheel.

Small block eight so live she feels
There she's parked beside the curb
Engine revving to disturb
She's the princess from his past
Red paint gold stripes damned she's fast"

My stepdaughter sent my cherished Creative Masters' GT350 cascading down a flight of stairs... There was something about paying near the price to replace pieces compred to buying anew that challenged my sensibilities. I retain the vacuum cleaner bags searching for pieces to this day, 25 years later... guess I should give it up and give the model a patina look... much like your jack stand idea.

There may still be hope. I found one wheel in the attic. The other may be in a heretofore unexplored box.

A Gestapo search (appropriate terminology for the present venue) of the attic did not reveal the fourth wheel. I still may find one online. The poor R Model.

That is so cool! Thank you! Now I have a backup plan.
