It's a bit hard to tell by the pics, however, the square main side rails look like about 2" (~51mm)

1/25 scale = 0.080" (2.0mm)

1/32 scale = 0.063" (1.5mm)

Even if the side rails were 2.5" square, @ 1/25 scale it would be 0.100" (2.5mm)

You're probably not going to get the exact size you want, so just go with what's available, and look the part.

Ok, thank you, will find some 2mm stuff and some 2.5 mm stuff

If you need to work out other scale dimensions, just divide the full size (1:1) size by the scale.

1/25 scale of 2" = 2 divided by 25 = 0.080" (2.0mm)

1/32 scale of 2" = 2 divided by 32 = 0.063" (1.5mm)

etc.

Right, thanks, i wasnt sure if the 1:1 size though, but it probably is roughly the size that you said, its ordered now though and on its way.
