I came across a reference to Offensive Miniatures "US Paras Jeep" recently, on the WI reviews:

…and here also:

Has anyone bought one yet? I have Bolt Action US Paras, and I was wondering if they match up reasonably well? The Wargame News review says they are "non heroic" scale, so I thought it might look a bit under-size compared with the Bolt Action models.
Thanks!

Offensive Miniatures US paras are very nicely sculpted, but unfortunately they are too small vis-à-vis Bolt Action paras. The height is the same but the figures are much slimmer and the weapons sizes, equipment and kit are noticeably smaller. But tolerances vary, particularly for vehicle crew that's part of the vehicle since they're separate from the foot-slogging infantry. If you have other jeeps in 1/56 or larger though and this one is in a smaller scale like 1/60 or 1/64 then you might want to give it a pass. I assume you already have the BAM one: link Addendum: According the the 'Lead Adventure' forum below the Offensive jeep is 20 percent smaller than the Company B one in 1/56, so personally I wouldn't get it. link The pre-painted Collectors Battlefield '28mm' jeep with .30-cal is 1/64 BTW:
