| | This was originally a Desert Tan flight suit I ordered from Ebay. I dyed it with about 5 boxes of Pearl Grey RIT dye, and to my astonishment it stuck perfectly.
The elbow pads I ordered directly from Markwort. They're the biggest size I believe and were dyed and spray painted. I'm still going to either spray paint or dye the front square completely black for better accuracy.
The boots, also from Ebay, are the correct Paratrooper boots with the zippers on the side, though not THE exact style from the movie, they work better than what I had before, which were jungle boots.
The Motorola is the correct MT500 but the longer kind, and still works. The holster fits the smaller, more correct one. I may up, er rather, downgrade some day.
The belt is a cheap-o pistol belt I bought from an army surplus. I didn't know at the time that I bought it that these the cheap-o ones don't come with the metal bars that help keep them straight, so if something heavy is pulling on it, it'll just pull down far...gets really annoying, this I will definitely replace very soon.
The belt circuit is an actual nixie tube calculator board I bought off Ebay, though nowhere near the correct style or look of the original Minolta. I believe i'm going to go the route of scratch building one myself. The rear smaller circuit is just cut and improvised from a dead computer motherboard. The holster for the calculator board is the tape measurer holder from Home Depot, cut, and dyed.
The belt hooks I found at Lowers, and at a very convenient time too, cause two weeks later they didn't offer them anymore. The smaller, more accurate clips that hang I found on ebay and were really cheap, but rare to find.
The leg hose connector I scratch built myself from a few different things found at Home Depot. The hose itself is a 5/8" ...tube...for something I don't know heh.
The nametag is Kerezeman and the arm patch from TK-194 in Brazil, which I must say are beautifully done. Though trying to get any kind of needle through the thick lining is difficult...wear a thimble!! I did the sew job myself...yeah, I sew 
The black shirt beneath the uniform is...well, just a plain black shirt...found at any local store ;P
