Tears of the sun movie - suitable 28mm miniatures?

[traveller]

I just re-watched the excellent "Tears of the sun" movie and consider to paint some miniatures to represent the Navy SEALs. I would be grateful for any advice re suitable miniatures from Empress, TAG, Spectre, Eureka or similar quality ranges. Many thanks!

Are you looking for copies or just seals and African rebels?

I think Eureka ' Marine Force Recon set would do well for the Navy Seals.

And the ZANLA for there opponents.

That was what my suggestion was going to be.   Great figures, and the gear is pretty close.   Head gear is a bit off for some of the characters, but I suspect that had to do with the actors not wearing hats very often to make their faces more identifiable to the audience.

Worth checking for Africans

Spectre
Akula and his Lost range
TAG and their africa range

Thanks for your help!
I would like to find a SEAL sniper that is not prone and also a SEAL with a silenced pistol. Could there be anything out there compatible with Eureka?

Its a while since I saw the film

Those have separate heads, so the pistol guy might work.

Great suggestions! Not knowing much about modern US uniforms but the Empress uniforms looks more recent than the Eureka. As I guess the movie is set in the late 1990s, which uniform would be the best fit?

You could look at the miniatures made by The Assault Group - the SAS in hats might suit well and the African militia might be useful too.
