Looking good.  Maybe it is little too green as it is hard to see its color when it is glossy.  I'd wash it with light gray to make it look more faded.  Did those figures come with the DML PAK 40 kit?  I have Tamiya old kit and I don't think I will ever bother to build it.

I'm returning to modeling after about 30 years, so my comments may not be worth anything.

I'd suggest that you vary the fabric colors a bit from figure to figure.  Fade and wear rates differ among fabrics even from the same factory lot.  Might want to check out a re-enactor site like At the Front.  Their items are absolutely authentic and they have color pictures of everything.

I'm going to start saving pill bottles to use as painting bases for my detail painting.  Thanks for the pictures.
