| Plastic Diamond plate??
Hey what scale of the PLASTRUCT Scale Plastic Pattern Sheet - Diamond Plate Would I need to make stuff to match my Hilux? I can get, H.O. , 1:16, O, AND G scale sheets just wondering what would match the truck the best? Thanks joe |

| Well...Since a Hilux is 1:9 scale. 1:16 is the closest to 1:9. It sure won't be HO at 1:87 scale, O at 1:64 or G at 1:24

i have both the 1:16 and the H.O. i would go with the H.O. the 1:16 looks out of place. i used it on (the 1:16) a clod body and it was way to large i used the H.O. stuff with a blackfoot body and looks more scale hope this helps |

i just measured the 2 the H.O. has a tread of about 1mm-1.5mm scaling it up would make it about 3/4" the 1:16 has a tread of about 4 mm scaling it up would be about 1 1/2" hope this helps really yoou need one in the middle but like i said before the H.O. looks better than the 1:16 |
