Uncle's B-24H and Some D-Day Aircraft
I've been building World War II plastic models in 1/48th scale for about 60 years. I've built over 100 models. The B-24H model I built to honor my Uncle Harold Fox who was a ball turret gunner on Two Ton Tessie. The other models are D-Day aircraft involved in Project Overlord. I am in the process of making a display for our local library. I hope you enjoy.
I'm updating this article with some new photos of my latest D-Day models. The first three photos of a P-38-J I built about 2001 (monogram Kit 5479). Rather than build another model just for invasion stripes I added them to this one for my display. The other photos are of a Hawker Hurricane Mk.IIC (Hasegawa Kit JT51) with stripes added which I just completed.

A nice collection! Are you still building? Welcome to iModeler, by the way!
Still building. Too much fun to stop. Just started a B-25J for a D-Day collection. After that I have a Ju 52 and a Mosquito B Mk. IV to keep me busy and happy. I have some more lined up but they are either too expensive or not 1/48.
That's a nice collection of Monogram classics. Welcome to iModeler.

An amazing collection, Robert!
