The first custom that I made of Dragonski is probably the most accurate version of him that I have done, minus the awful purple color of his fire retardant suit. That awful color and the flame retardant suit are part of the reason why I decided to make a more modern version of this character. After a lot of research I could not find any evidence of any Soldier during any time wearing a flame retardant suit while using a flamethrower. The very suit itself seems to suggest that you expect him to burst into flames either because of a faulty flamethrower, or having one of the fuel tanks ruptured. Furthermore the use of flamethrowers in modern warfare is all but extinct. In a few instances they were used in Afghanistan, but are not considered part of a normal arsenal. I did want to have a face mask for him because I can only imagine the heat, fumes and smoke from using a flamethrower could be diminished if a mask was worn. I wanted Dragonski to still have his flamethrower, but to have his primary focus be as an infantry Soldier. This version of Dragonski will probably not be liked by many, but I went out of my way to make sure that his gear was accurate to what was used by the U.S.S.R. before it crumbled in the early 90's.
As always feedback is welcome.
