I know that this is an old thread but after the same type of 4 spoke hand wheels for my build in 1/72.
Most of what I can find online is 5 or 8 spoke modern which are not suitable for WW2.
Can't find the Aber ones online so assuming they are discontinued.
Have a heap of IJN Type 96 25mm twin/Triple gun mounts, Torpedo tubes etc to build and have come to a halt as not sure how to proceed without the wheels/knowledge of how to fit the applicable wheels to my moulds.
Hoping someone can point me in a direction that can get me underway again.
Thanks in advance

Model railway parts suppliers are another good source of PE handwheels. I have quite a few sets in various sizes, from N to O gauge.

Thanks to you both for the help. I've taken Akula's advice as the postage is half the price as that from scalelink.com.
