Default 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

Great, helps a bunch, guess that HO Being 1.87 and the Hilux at 1.90 it's the way to go

Thanks guys

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

Thanks again, I think 1.5mm thread would look better than 4mm !
