Scale styrene ? For tread plate

[Markocaster]

I am looking to add tread plate to a 1/6 panzer iv
So far all I have been able to find locally is 1/16 double diamond plate.
Just looking at it it looks too big and I think single diamond plate is more accurate.
I have heard 1/24 is closer. Any tips or advice on proper size and where the
Heck to find it ? cheers

Ive seen some aluminum sheets that can be cut to size bit not sure about scale.

This is 1/10 scale designed for trucks and the like....

Jake, Thanks for asking , I got it about a month ago second hand. I have been wanting to show it off here but I t's not RC though so I figured it didn't really fit the forum.

These are pictures from when it arrived. It's an all metal FOA kit I got already assembled for a very good price, UPS disassembled it partly and added battle damage
So I have taken it partially apart and am fixing it up and detailing. It's an amazing size, I can't help but laugh when I see it next to the 1/16 and it's just got me started now I really want an RC 1/6 tank.

Absolutely awesome tank sir it's a beauty either way

Looks great Mark! any camo schemes planned? it's huge lol really nice buy mate..rc 1/6 would be awesome but there so damn expensive, also need to buy a van to move them to much $ for me. Hope to see some more pics when you finish her

As well. Yea the rc are big and expensive but man it would be so cool
I will post pictures in the show off section when I'm finished
