D-day will be remebered in history for many years to come.....
So i am not going to stop my self from buidling it. Although the scale will be smaller (1/72nd) im still going to build it. I need help to try to find the following. US rangers,Bunkers and beach obstacles. Anyone know if the LCVP from airfix is any good?

I don't know about this particular model, but generally speaking I find airfix not to be a quality brand of models. They usually need a lot of scratch building.
The model was originally put on the market by heller I believe. It may be useful to know this in search of info on the kit.
Good luck with the project.

Scott-
I've never purchased from this company personally, but they have a ton of stuff that I think you'll like.
Tracks-n-Troops
Once there, scroll down and click on 1/72, then bunkers and then you can choose from shell holes, atlantik wall and obstacles.
Quite a selection.
Haven't dealt with 1/72 as of yet, so can't help you with the figures.

For the bunkers, there's a french company that makes most of them : PN Sud Modelisme.
The problem is they are a bit privey...
About the beach obstacles... with a bit of documentation, you can probably scratchbuild most !
