Yes, over the holidays we streamed Red Dawn. The 1980s original (remember watching it on a VHS player- older readers will recall the Video hire shops with VHS on one isle and Beta on the other).
Two images stuck with me: First the Soviet paras floating down into that school yard in Colorado. The authentic kit, the distinctive jump helmets, the blue berets. Secondly the very real looking replica T-72 and other AVFs. The film makers used an M8 (M41) chassis to fabricate the Soviet tank.
Soviet paras. A big and vital part of the WP battle plans. NATO's worse nightmare. Nobody makes them in 10mm .....yet. :)
Well.... there's a subtle hint. ;) ;D ;D ;D

"Starshina, any word on our 10mm reinforcements?" Sandsmodels 20mm soviet paras are wondering...

And don't forget Grumpy Old Man whose picture inventory must put Wikipedia to shame. :)

I remember the furore about this when it came out, about how violent it was. Bet it looks really tame now.
