I bought a ton of them to go with the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. setting (suedo post-apocalyptic/ occult Chernobyl). I haven't managed to paint many though, and well the first one I did paint is wearing a Gorka (I was reading another thread on this board at the time) instead of the standard Russian camo.
That and he's wearing a British gas mask, but again put that down to the setting. I'll be painting up actual soldiers at some point however, so this thread's helpful.
As people seem to be in the know about this, do the Russians have other colours schemes for their modern outfit? I mean like desert, winter, urban, etc? Not to thread jack, but I'd like to have the twenty odd models I have in a variety of schemes to represent the lack of uniformity of the different individuals chucking about the setting.
That and what gas mask are the Russians currently using in military service, and is it available in 28mm at all? I know they have those welding mask visor things for their special forces, but it'd be nice to slip in some gas masks too (though given that you can barely find Russians at all this may be a tall order).
