Troops of the British commonwealth nations can be easily converted from existing British figures.  Airfix makes two sets of specific commonwealth infantry: Australians and Gurkhas.

These are the Australians.  They wear the British jungle uniform, and can be used for any British troops in the Pacific Theatre.  The Bren gunner is one of my favorite 1/72 figures.

These are the Gurkhas.  They wear the jungle uniform with shorts, and if their knifes are trimmed off they too can be used for any British troops in East Asia.  With a change of heads, they may be painted in desert uniforms.
