A-Model 72214 L2D2 Tabby 1/72 – Plastic Aircraft Model Kit

The L2D2 Tabby model in 1/72 scale by A-Model (catalog number 72214) is a highly detailed plastic assembly kit depicting the Japanese version of the famous Douglas DC-3/C-47 Dakota transport aircraft. The L2D2, known to the Allies under the codename “Tabby,” was a licensed variant produced in Japan by Showa Hikoki K.K. and Nakajima. This aircraft mainly served in the Imperial Japanese Navy during World War II.

The L2D2 was used for transporting troops, supplies, and wounded soldiers on the Pacific front, as well as for special long-range missions. It corresponded directly to the Allied C-47 Dakota and played a significant role during Japanese airborne and logistics operations from 1942–1945. The L2D2 variant was distinguished by Japanese Mitsubishi Kinsei engines and modifications suited to naval requirements.

This model is intended for intermediate and advanced modelers: assembly requires patience and manual skills at level 3 out of 5 on the difficulty scale. The set includes sprues made of high-quality plastic, ensuring excellent detail and allowing for precise replication of the airframe, wings, and interior components. Glue and paints are not included.

This model is an excellent addition to any World War II aircraft collection, especially for enthusiasts of lesser-known Japanese military machines. It is also recommended for diorama fans depicting operations in the Far East, as well as those interested in the history of transport aviation.
