Very, very nice! 
And I always liked conversion - your very good.

But work is not without errors. 
I recommend all the berets to paint in the color blue - paratroopers in the Russian army berets are only blue. There will be a beautiful and believable.

These figures can be used to fight the USSR in Afghanistan, various conflicts in the former USSR in the 90s and the first campaign in Chechnya (still sometimes used this form of camouflage costume).

If you're still painting the Russian - please contact me. I pick up a reliable option for your painting.



Here you will find lots of interesting photos that will help you to paint.
Information - in English.

hehe, it's a deliberate error this time, i wanted to be able to spot the officers easily, so they get the blue beret
i notice one big miss in my idea tho, the commander has a camo beret in his hand.. :/

If they'd *Never* wear a camouflaged one, i might have to rethink it.. :/

There are some excellent pics in that thread, but the best on i think you posted here,
i'm painting a figure that has those little mine-flags right now, and i was going to paint them yellow
