Very nice, mine all got sold off to Paleskin I guess they will be in his lead pile

Good job! But there are a few bugs. It is not important, but knowing about them does not hurt.

 Color for the Russian chemical protection suits you chose wrong. Here's a photo of the real sample:



Such suits have several options for the device, but always the same color.
Here is a link to photos of painted miniatures authentically:

 The machine gun at the soldier sitting - not DShK! It is much more advanced  weapons NSV "Utes." Here's an article about it in Wikipedia:

I actually think it's supposed to represent the SGM Goryunov, as it looks a bit under scale if it is meant to be the NSV (it would look similar, but would be a similar size to the DShK). Certainly the tripod is meant to be the 6T7 tripod though. Another option is that it is meant to be the 6P50 'Kord', but I'd expect that to be bigger too.

Goryunov - definitely not. It is an ancient weapon. And not like:



Rather - it is a modernized Kalashnikov, but unlike too:

For what it's worth the NBC suit depicted on the Eureka figures is not the one piece item shown in cuprum's photo, the OZK. It's actually the heavier  two piece version. If I'm not mistaken that was generally issued to specialised chemical warfare units, so it may not be entirely accurate for motor rifles or other infantry types but hey, let's not get too anal about this. They're the only ones out there anyway.

As it happens, I've seen photos that depict this particular suit in a variety of colours from mid tan to the colour depicted on Burkhard's miniatures.

As for the MG, it does appear to be the NSV but one that's been on a diet.

Fine painting.
I have both Eureka and Red Star, (unpainted).
Like the figures.
Hope to see an AAR soon.
