From The Plastic Soldier Company:
** UPDATE 8th May 2014 **
News from PSC HQ:-
New PSC 15mm Panzer III J,L,M,N and Flamm tank kit due for release at Triples, Sheffield 17th/18th May but will be loaded onto the webstore for pre-order next week. A beautiful kit and the Panzer III is my favourite German tank so very exciting!
PSC 1/72nd Panzer III J,L,M,N and Flamm tank kit not far behind and should be ready for a grand debut at Bovington Tank Museum 5th/6th July.
The design team are also well advanced into the 15mm Panzer 38T and Marder options, 15mm Early War German Infantry (new style like the 15mm British Infantry) and a 1/72nd German stowage and accessories kit. The stowage set will be the first of a series of comprehensive stowage and accessory sets to customise your vehicles containing a whole range of crates, ammo and ration boxes, fuel cans, weapons, tank parts, personal equipment and some new tank commander and vehicle passenger figures. We aim to produce German, British, Soviet and US sets in both 1/72nd and 15mm scales.
Another little surprise my design elves are working on is additional one piece track options for the existing 15mm T34 and Panzer IV kits. These additional sprues will be added to the existing kits to give gamers both the more detailed clam-shell 3 piece track units and a simpler, quicker one piece option. These should be available July.
The 15mm Churchill and IS2 tank kits are now available in the great value 3 box company deals and single sprue REINFORCEMENTS.
We've just received a big re-stock of S Model kits from China.
We are now offering the entire Minairons range of Spanish Civil War and early WW2 kits in 15mm, 1/72nd and 28mm. Look out for 2 particularly useful 1/72nd kits due May/June - German Henschel truck and FT17 tank.
We are now offering a more complete Zvezda range to complement our PSC range - 1/72d 88mm Flak 36/37, 2cm Flak 38, Pak 36 37mm anti tank gun, LeFH 105mm howitzer, 75mm infantry gun, R12 motorcycle combination (and a cool, great value 11 motorcycle combination Kradschutzen platoon deal!); Russian IS2 tank, 76mm infantry gun, 122mm howitzer, 85mm anti aircraft gun; plus British Bofors gun.
Available to buy now in the Plastic Soldier Company webstore

Working out the Panzer III sprue nearly lost my mind... but it has so many options on it, one of the best.
The 15mm Germans are gonna be lovely, been reviewing the renders to get them as accurate as we can.

This Panzer III looks spot on - I see the wraparound tracks have been dispensed with, which will make the 15mm version easier to build. I love the Ausf L, and will buying a couple of boxes of these for my Tunisia-era Germans.

I've recently discovered the Plastic Soldier Company range and immediately I was impressed. I want to put together a 15mm British force obviously I'm going to pick up my tanks and infantry from PSC but was wondering if PSC have mentioned if they are going to release British artillery any time soon? more specifically the 17 Pounder Gun, 5.5 Inch Gun and 25 Pounder Gun. If they haven't are there any good alternatives? I've checked out FOW's offerings but I actually find majority of their range to be on the poor side. I have also looked at the Forged In Battle range and their British artillery does seem pretty good.

I'm really not a fan of the Psc infantry - but the British rifle box isn't great sculpts either! Have you looked at Peter pig?

I actually like the PSC British Infantry my one gripe with Peter Pig and FOW is I find them too cartoonish in appearance.
