I did the hand swap. I did have to trim a little off the end of the hands to get them to fit right. I was going to paint them green to match, but found that I liked the black when I tried them on. By the way, I used the hands from an extra crankcase. (Same as Shipwreck hands.)
Yup, that does look cool. I might go back and do that as well at some point.
For paints I used Tamiya flat black, flat nato brown (for the belts), Liquitex cadmium red medium hue for the patch on his beret and on his shoulders, Tamiya chrome silver also for the shoulders. For the crotch I used Tamiya Olive Green, which was too dark really...try a lighter green, and once more with the flat nato brown for the camo spots. The whole thing (except the legs, head and lower arms) was sealed with a clear acrylic sealer that was supposed to be flat, but turned out more matte than flat. Kinda like it though, as someone else in the threat mentioned, it reminds me of the vintage fig.
