Having measured a Perry Uni Carrier and Sdkfz 250 I can assure you they are slightly smaller than  other makes like Warlord. It fits in with their infantry  nicely.
Blitzkreig on the otherhand are 1/56th  and match Warlord

Thanks everyone; I'll give it a pass. It's a pity as it would have been good conversion material for post-war civilian trucks.

 Rubicon do have a plastic 1/56 15cwt CMP in the pipe, not sure of the release date, but assume it's fairly soon as it  appears to be finished.

Slated for October - I'll definitely be getting the Rubicon 15cwt.
Might get a Matador as well though :)

Hi, John here. I can confirm that this is made as close to 1/56 as I possibly can!

Thanks for clarifying John. I never doubted you for a moment  ;)
I have several of your WW2 vehicles for Perry, and they are all extremely nice.

Sneaky! I don't think I'd be giving much away by mentioning the Deacon and Dorchester  coming from Perry's. Shouldn't be too long I think - the Dorchester has a full interior. Also I recently sent over a pak 36(r), that might be a bit longer.

Yup and Blitzkrieg and Rubicon have them in the pipeline - whenever that is.

BTW I do not mean to imply Perry's vehicles were not 1/56th just that is you wanted to match with other stuff be aware
eg I bought a Perry Bren Carrier but the figures I had for it (Russian ) were Warlord and they just would not fit in.

OTOH I bought a Perry Sdkfz 250 and I used Perry Germans as crew and all good - no one will notice the difference between that and my Warlord/Blitzkrieg stuff on the tabletop
