Anyone aware of any manufacturer plans to make hard plastic 15mm or 28mm cold war or modern infantry? Would seem like a good niche. |

I agree, though it's probably a matter of time before moderns and WWI both get plastic releases since some people are clamoring for them. In the meantime there's the plastic 1/48 British infantry from Airfix and the modern US infantry that will be released as part of the 'Mars Attacks!' board game from Mantic due out later this year. |

Victrix has WW1 in the pipeline. |

1/48 is more like 35mm, not 28mm, but there's a growing number of 1/48 armor and infantry kits from Airfix and Tamiya. |

Be quick if you want the Airfix stuff, most of it is being discontinued and is on reduced prices to clear. |

Does Wargames Factory count? |

I use the new Airfix 1/48 with my 28mm. The subjects are kind of different, Jackal, Coyote, Lynx and Merlin, so can be a bit near future too and not all that familiar. 1/48 being about 36mm and barely larger than many 30+ heroics that can hit 33+mm now, so the vehicles aren't that bad. The figures require a bit of the 15/18mm concern, not too different but noticeable. But real 28mm or so modern hard plastics, yep, would think with ancients, ACW and some Sci-Fi…should be soon. |

Previously mentioned Wargames Factory makes two sets of 28 mm hard plastic modern armed civilians. |
