Indians

By WWII the people of India had been trying to gain independence from Britain for a long time.

When the Japanese captured large numbers of Indians and took over areas were many Indians lived they recruited Indians to fight the British.

They used a variety of British and Japanese uniforms and equipment.

 These troops are mostly Atlantic Indian Army that have had their heads  replaced in most cases.

I also added some Atlantic Japanese with new heads.
 

They use a mixture of Vickers and Nambu machine guns.

Indian National Army

Sometimes I do figure conversions and have bits left over.

I save the bits and recently when through them all and figured out a way to return over 200 partial figures back into service.

Most of these original figures donated heads to other figures.  

Most of these were British Indian Army troops and a few Japanese and various British troops.

I managed to find new heads for them so they could be returned to service as Japanese allies, Indian National Army troops.
 

One of the figures is even an elephant Mahout.  

Same figures after a bit of primer.
