Well for a offer, it would be about right. 1/2" tube in 1/24 scale = a 12" diameter pipe. So like William stated, offy's would run 12" or 14" tube for the reach.
You might want to beef up the triangle area for the hitch on the tend of your tube. In the bottom photo, there is nothing adding strength above or below the horizontal plane.
