In recent years, (the past 30) most of the sets of my childhood dreams have been made, and a great many that I dare not even dream of have been made, thanks to all manufacturers concerned. But, D-Day British infantry are still missing, our American allies have that outstanding set from pegasus, there are on Temu of all places numerous 3d sets of Americans specific to D-Day, but no Brits overloaded with kit, none coming ashore with bikes, no Lord Lovett commandos in green berets, with a piper etc, the British/Canadian forces took three beaches on D-Day about time the hobby did them some justice.

I agree Alan, my late father landed on Gold Beach with the Green Howards on D-Day and on the 11th June his best friend was killed - later to be buried at the Bayeux British cemetery. It is time for some British/Canadian troops to be represented as on that fateful day. The Pegasus set for the American infantry is amazingly detailed and it would be great to see a similar one representing the Gold/Sword and Juno combatants.
Dan Taylor has done some interesting figure sets in resin but they are not cheap. AB figures have also made some rather nice 20mm figures in metal. But Can you imagine if Airfix decided to sculpt a set of OO/HO figures truly representing D-Day ... but they have given up creating new figure sets of the very size and scale that started the whole genre of little plastic soldiers.
We can only hope that perhaps Strelets or Orion/Red Box would possibly consider producing these sets sometime in the future (depending on what happens with the Russian aggression towards brave Ukraine...)

And some late war British infantry in winter uniforms. Another highly neglected theme...

There are some interesting sets in 1/32 scale - even the BMC D-Day set had some British/Canadian poses that are currently available - the original BMC figures are usually on the poor side of quality in sculpting, but these aren't bad. But you are right - it is a subject poorly represented in 1/72 scale, I can't think of a recent set. It is sad, considering how much Britain and the Commonwealth contributed to the victory.

Totally agree but this also applies to the bit before when the Russians had the Nazis as their allies and the Americans were not involved. 1939 -1941 British totally ignored except the mini sets from the "Russian Company" and as for "the forgotten army" in Burma it seems to be removed from history!
Great to see how VJ history is being celebrated with in China with guests of honour like Russian (when did they declare war on Japan?), North Korea (remembered for their brutality to POWs), India (only the nationalists fighting with the Japanese recieved a war pension).
