Igor01 what Russian/Soviet loadouts do you have?
You should start a new thread with them, as the "Russia and East Bloc" always looks a bit sparse.
Everyone is always going about in their Contractor, US Army, SEALS and USMC loadouts (although I cant really talk, as I have a few of those myself)

I am always glad to help a fellow comrade even though I don't consider myself a gear expert by any stretch of imagination. I suppose that having grown up at various Soviet army bases with my family and still being more fluent in Russian than in English can give me a bit of an unfair advantage over a West-born Soviet/Russian gear enthusiast
I haven't been to a game in many moons and sold off most of my gear and AEG's although still have a few pieces stashed away in my treasure chest.
Captain's shoulder boards won't go with this kit and with the cap, officers has a different type of uniform, different belt, different webbing and wore a side-arm. The cap you show in the last picture is an "everyday" or "off the base" cap, the cockade on was indended only for apprivate/efreitor/seargant, officers used
different ones for the everyday kit (and the green subdued versions of the same smaller cockade with their field uniforms).
If red "CA" shoulder boards cannot be found, consider getting the green "ПВ" borderguards' or blue "ВДВ" airborne ones. Any of these would go well with a "panama" wide-brimmed hat and your AKS. Just add collar insignia and a white undercollar strip as Vivisector described it.
