These 1/72 scale British Infantry are flexible and belong in your collection.

I have these same soldiers painted quite nicely as British and Italian colonial troops.  I've enjoyed them in many a Zulu game.  I like these figures for another reason.  They are one solid casting, no add-on parts.  The Zulus by the same manufacturer have shield and weapons that have to be glued.

They are also serving in India, for me, and I will post photos pretty soon.
