Modeled, I think after the IMDb, but arranged in Wiki format.  Tons of exhaustively nerdy gun info for almost any film you can think of, with occasional tidbits about aircraft or military vehicles.  The entry for Red Scorpion, for instance, has several good stills illustrating the Sikorsky S-62 which was modified to look sorta like a Hind.

I think I've seen that chopper from Red Scropion in a book on helicopters; re-painted in obviously civilian colours (presumably so the military do not attack it...). I think it's in South Africa being operated by a Helicopter tour company or some such...
I've often thought about building a 'MOvie Gunship' in the same vein myself...
There are no good kits, bad kits or grail kits, just kitbash fodder.
