Paint's the wrong color, luster- try flat olive drab or flat forest green. Parts are not smoothed! Shoulders are missing. Underarmor/kevlar-like parts are missing. Improper camo pattern. Pants are bloused below the knee- should be straight transition from boot to greave. Wrong cap. Elbows would be a bit better over full pads. Ab plate is missing. Needs large shoulder buckles. Also spine details, raised center chest armor plate, more modern boots.. boot armor...
UBCS british desert camo looks best, IMO
ALICE straps can be cannibalized into the chest armor
8-point, OD, or helmet, or bare-headed
Really, really needs underarmor to look right. Just sandwich up canvas and felt, throw some edging on it, straps on the sides, under arms. Bolt/rivet the shoulders to this.

Sorry.. you demanded... I realize you're probably some high-schooler kidding around, but the above is just a list of what separates your costume from a canon one.
I think it's pretty good. The gun may be a bit squared around the handle/grip but otherwise good pepping. Is this your first attempt at a costume? If so, you hit it out of the park for bare minimal
Did you fiberglass the peps for strength or just resin? I think you could have gotten exceptional armor if you would have used some body filler, if you did then my apologies, next time go a few more layers thick. It's a pain but worth it in the end.
