I managed to do some Sikhs for Western desert, I think I used the ones from the World War 1 range, and North west frontier

I have riflemen Vickers MGs, Gun crews serving mortars and 2pdr A/t Guns. The most obvious compromise is that I have had to use   BP18 Indian with Lewis as the light machine gunner, instead of a bren.

I used them. they are ok, Limited poses,  Happy to show them to you when your about.
