Oh well....thanks for the link, though. Well....I'm still scratching my head on this too...sorry. After digging through my supplies I discovered it must have been a much smaller scale. I found a small piece of what I am pretty sure I used and compared it to a sheet of 1/48th still in it's packaging. 1/48 is close to twice the size. Therefore, I am pretty sure I used the 1/87th scale...which I found at https://www.scalehobbyist.com/catagories/Paint_and_Construction/ps-155-diamond-plate-ho-12-x-7/PLA00091687/product.php?kw=diamond,plate. I sure hope I am not steering you wrong plus I'd like to get another sheet or two. Best wishes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks pretty good to me, close to scale on your build. Did you get it from Scale Hobbies or the Plastruct site ? They showed 1:48 in a single diamond pattern and 1:16 too. I may try the 1:16, should be close enough. Aluminum diamond plate is an ideal material for this type of vehicles and I want it!! What did you use for the metal finish?

I am pretty sure I used 1/87th scale...because I didn't want "big" diamond plate so I choose the smallest I could find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
