Minichamps 1:12 spoked wheel rebuild?

Somewhere in my stash there are 2 examples of the diecast Minichamps MV Agusta 500 GP bike.

Both came to me at a good price due to the rear wheels spokes being loose leaving the assembly in a 'collapsed' state.
Nothing seems to be missing or broken, indeed the spokes remain in situ, just loose.

As I have 2 of these excellent models with identical problems, I assume this is common issue with Minichamps spoked wheels.

Has anyone else encountered this and successfully remedied the situation?
