D-Day changed the direction of WW II, and I wanted to have a model of a Spitfire that flew in that operation. Not difficult with eBay under your fingertips!
The model has invasion stripes, and here is a picture of the actual aircraft before it got its stripes:

As I've done a few times before, I decided to add a couple more models: an RAF Hawker Typhoon and two USAAF aircraft: P-51 Mustang and P-47 Thunderbolt (I'm aware that these models don't sport the Invasion stripes, but couldn't find any that did, apart from the Spit).
Just a single Luftwaffe aircraft, to illustrate that the Luftwaffe wasn't able to mount much of a resistance in the air during D-Day: a Focke-Wulf 190.
Here are all five fighter planes together:
