Scale styrene ? For tread plate

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 ? :crazy: cheers

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 8O :haha:
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 :haha: now I really want an RC 1/6 tank.
