They look awesome ... but are you sure they are Russians?  They may be volunteers on the wrong side of a border or something ...

Looking good, though the AKSU needs wood handguards (haven't seen any military models without them).  A lot of the optics are also finished in a grey-matte-metal finish as opposed to black.  For variety you could also throw in some wood on the occasional RPK handguard and perhaps paint a couple of their magazines in plum/bakelite.  While the issue stuff is all black today, a lot of older magazines etc. are still floating around.
