Question about miniatures

Does any company make miniatures for wars like the Congo crisis or the Rhodesian bush war?

Peter pig do a range for AK47 which would fit quite well I think all 15mm.

Under fire minatures is slowing building a line of 28 and 20mm Rhodesian war. Eureka makes a 28mm line for Rhodesia both the Goverment and rebel forces.
There used to be a line that made 28mm Merc's and Simbas but I don't know who bought them.
"Peace" is that brief, glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading.

I did find the company that did that, I cannot recall the name but it's on my corkboard.
I was hoping to track down some on the 3rd party market and offload some 15mm ACW stuff (it's just too hard to see that small of details) but it seems I will probably have to go new.

Badger miniatures have the rights for the old mongrel Congo range, but haven't rereleased it yet.
Brittania do a fairly wide Congo range too although their sculpts are chunky and might not mix with Eureka etc depending on taste.
Honourable mention to TAG's modern africans who are generic enough to work for most things and periods :)

Sounds great, I'm focusing on a section of the war, namely the Katanga split, with their army and white mercenaries, and the Congo army with the UN (who had Swedish, Irish, Ethiopian and Indians if I recall correctly).

I think Jerwood Miniatures in the UK may have some troops that would work for your scenarios.
