It's been a while, but as someone who usually works in larger scales I have found myself in 1/72 scale recently.
First, a D-Day build. It is Glider No.1, a Horsa glider and the first to land at the Benouville (now Pegasus) Bridge, shortly after midnight on 6 June 1944. On board this glider were the members of No.25 Platoon, designated No.1 Platoon for the duration of the Coup-de-Main Raid, of "D" Company, the 2nd Battalion the Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry. They were the first thirty of the hundreds of thousands of men who would land in Normandy on this night and in the following days.
Subsequently, I was gifted the Airfix D-Day fighters set, also 1/72. I started with the aircraft of Gefreiter Heinz Lienich of 11./JG 26, a Bf 109 G-6, werknummer 162707. He abandoned this aircraft on 8 June 1944, just two days after D-Day, following combat with a Spitfire 5Km southwest of Caen. He would be shot down and killed on 22 June.
1/72 is not my preferred scale, but it can be fun!
