Indian and tropical commonwealth infantry and vehicles

[Wargamergunnar]

Would love some Indian pattern carriers, and some jungle fatigued Indians and other Brit's for Burma and Singapore and Malaya!

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

Early Malaya is 8th Army stuff. Supsect the Indian Pattern carrier is a non-starter as not very commercial

[Wargamergunnar]

Does the 8th army have long pants or are they all in shorts?

[fred.]

I'm pretty sure all the figures are in shorts. The odd officer might be in long trousers. 

[Wargamergunnar]

Shame, I'd prefer to have them in trousers

[John Cook]

Yes, the 8th Army figures are in shorts, which is typical enough for North Africa, is it not?  I used them for my Crete project together with figures in BD, which are easy to paint with sleeves rolled up. 
Were I to do a Far East project I'd probably do the same.  There are also figures in slouch hats that would be useful and figures in tropical kit with sleeves rolled up in the Korean War range.  There are enough figures in the WW2 range to work I think, but the main omission is Indian troops, for all WW2 theatres, which is one reason I haven't started a Fall of Hong Kong project, that I've had at the back of my mind for years.
