Not bad, but not quite sure what is going on here. Extra M1942 pockets on sleeves were extremely rare, and even so, the angle on the flap should be much deeper.
As for the chest pouches, (I assume that's what they are) they appear to back to back five mag pouches for...the Thompson, not the Grease Gun. Never seen them worn that way either. So I'm sure someone somewhere was the inspiration for the figure. (Re-enactor?) Speaking of the Grease Gun, a shame that it appears to be cast to the arm. I'd like to replace that way overscale stock with wire.

Jump boots should also have a noticeable angle to the leading edge of the heel to prevent getting caught on shroud lines.

Great figure, I like the pose, too, and would follow Bravo's suggestions as well as getting rid of the goggles because they might provide flash when the light hits them the right way, and he would be a target. But the quality is such that I wouldn't mind doing those things. Minisoldiers does extremely good, and I wish there were even more of them, so long as they were Americans in WW2.
