Default finishing my basket case

I am in the final stages of my great planes .40 size cub, need to know what size are the basswood strips used to make the wing struts? Could not find this detail in the instructions. They look to be 5/8" wide but how thick? These are four more of the many pieces that were not in the kit.

The parts list http://www.greatplanes.com/parts/gpma0160pl.html mentions four struts 5/16 x 5/8 x 24

Look at the wing struts for the 1/4 scale cub from Sig. They supply the struts, brass jurys and connector for the fuselage and wing.

Thank you gentlemen! I knew I would get the answer here. Now for another trip to the local hobby shop!
