scale diamond plate question

[Ranger626]

From an aircraft modeller seeking help from my car modelling cousins:   Can anyone point me to a source for diamond plate plastic sheets in 1/24 or 1/25 scale?   I've tried all my usual big web based retailers and googled till my fingers got numb.   No luck.  Several companies (JTT and Plastruct) produce these sheets, but not in the scale I need.   Plastruct actually had a  sheet that would work (PS-153)  but it is long out of production and nowhere to be found.  Someone suggested I ask for help on a car modelling web site as this stuff probably is used for trucks and heavy equipment.  Any advice?

This is my favorite:

Looks really nice. I expect others will verify this choice.

Don Mills has the best scale diamond plate (IMO) available for us modelers.

I got mine from Slaters. The HO is closest in scale spacing wise, but the raised “diamonds” are too fat. The  #449 (1:100) looks much better in my opinion. And FYI, their 1:25 designation is NOT 1/25.

The Don Mills treadplate is the way to go, period.
