Ha, cool idea! 
I will not embarrass myself and try to guess all of them

He is supposed to be running firing his weapon, but the pose is a bit exaggerated isn’t it?!
He is also a bit of an odd-one-out; most of my Aussies are Airfix, but he is one of the odd few Revell figures that I somehow picked up:

I also varied the colours and mixture of uniform - apparently (like many armies) they had a range of outfits as the war progressed.
Glad you like it

Before going through the answers, I have just finished another set. It is nice and easy, given the big knife some of them are carrying!
Yes, Airfix Ghurkas (a recently acquired set from the 70s).
So, the first photo show Polish infantry. An excellent set from HaT, which you will see painted differently for another army later!
Number 2 is Russian infantry from Airfix, painted in various colours to reflex the reality of their uniforms in WW2.
Three is indeed the Aussies - a mixture of Airfix and Revell, again a mix of uniform colours.
The Brits come next:
The infantry are a mix of Airfix, Heller, and Esci.
Then the Paras, who are also a bit of a mix.
The Desert Rats are all Airfix.
And finally Commandos, again all Airfix.
I will posting some more soon!

Ready to test your knowledge again?!
First up is exactly the same model set as the Polish ones from abvre, but painted for a different country. Tough…
Then a mix of armies which shouldn’t be so difficult…
Enjoy!

Good effort by Winters!
3 out of 3.
The missing one is Slovak infantry 
Told you it was tough!
I actually used them this weekend for the scenario ‘‘Slovak invasion of Poland (September 1939)’’
I have got a few more units to finish off over the coming weeks. Watch this space!

Here is another tricky one for you.
Just finished painting these - and they were a pleasure to paint because of the quality of plastic and the detail.

The excellent Italeri set of Italian mountain troops, or Alpini.
One of the best sets of figures I have painted - highly recommended.

Indeed it is the Free French Infantry.
Unfortunately this is not the best set from Italeri - a bit of a miss-mash of uniforms and equipment, making it difficult to decide which part of the war they are from.
But, at leasgt I have some French now and will be able to make some of the scenarios a bit more accurate.

Here is another one for you.
It is actually the same set as one I have posted previously, but what is the difference (and why)?

It is the same figures that the ghurkas but their uniform looks like desert

Yes, Airfix Ghurkas again!
The first difference is the quality of the moulding. The first set (in jungle colours) is a French-made set, reasonable quality. The second set is made in Asia and is unfortunately of very poor quality. You can perhaps see some of the excess plastic on the figures (called ‘flash’) - and the guy on the left looks like he is holding a banana rather than a kukri!
The Airfix painting scheme always suggests jungle scenarios, but the Ghurkas also saw a lot of action in North Africa and Italy (e.g. Monte Cassino). Therefore I have gone for the Mediterranean paint scheme. This also makes the shorts more suitable - shorts were not really used in jungle combat (bites, stings, cuts).
Just finished a big set of … you tell me! (Actually, should be quite straightforward this one.)
Two different paint schemes, as suggested on the box.
