Currently just an MP40 (well, two actually), but I'm trying to rectify that.

Neither a typical Landser weapon. 

I finally found that picture - is that a K98 or a G33/40 ?

The angle does make it look very short like a G33/40 but I think it is actually a K98k as the rear sight doesn't look to be enclosed within the woodwork as it is on the G33/40.
The but stock is cut out of the photos which would be one of the big give-aways.

So don’t think I marched there for this reason – it could carry another name – but because there is a very important goal... this goal I wanted to take – and you know – we are very modest, we have it already."

We can and must clear the Soviet land of Hitlerite vermin."

I'm pretty sure that is a K98. The stock band spring appears to be visible on the right hand side whilst on a G33/40 it is on the left. Plus the handguard doesn't appear to extend as far forward as it does on the G33, which is level with the lower stock.
I'm not worried about using a 33 since, as that photo just prooved, you can't tell the difference unless you're very close. However I do still want a K98 springer. 
Its a great pic BTW. I wonder how he has his gasmask can attached so high up on his back?
Attached to the Y-strap D-rings in some way maybe? ![]()
EDIT actually he doesnt appear to be wearing any Y-straps so how the hell is his can and Zelt attached??

Yes, it's a great pic - obviously early war. Zeltbahn was usually attached to the belt, and gasmask cannister with its own straps.

don't need Helmet decals , they'd pretty much been abandoned by 42 .
belt buckle , chest eagle , lutzen (collar dogs ) thats it really.
Shoulderboards too -white piping for infantry, same as SS but on fieldgrey backing.

Correct but reckon less of an issue , I've had SS ones on for 18 months and nobodies noticed 
They will now! 
See, that proves CiA aren't stitch-counters. We all knew that his shoulderboards were bollox but too polite to say. ![]()
