Hasegawa C-47 & L2D "Tabby"

[Tim Reynaga]

Tiny Gooney Birds!







The American bird represents a C-47 of 317 Troop Carrier Group (TCG), 55 Troop Carrier Squadron (TCS) Mindoro, 1944.





The Japanese plane is an L2D2 type Zero transport (“Tabby”) of the Yokosuka Naval Flying Group, 1945.



Both models are 1/200 scale.

Dandy DAK duo.

I´m impressed with the stripes on the prop on the Jap plane!

[The Great Auk]

Those are wonderful! I especially like your weathering on the C-47 landing gear.

You're Tabby is a treat too as it's a pretty rarely modeled type.

Having built a couple of the 1/144 Minicraft kits, I have an idea of the challenge of C-47s in smaller scales.

Your achievement with these models is no mean feat!

My goodness. Are they really only 1/200? They look terrific.

As is often said, 'Less is more'. These small scale works of art are very impressive, indeed.
My eyesight is not great, but, it looks like the pilot in the b/w photo is holding out his mid-finger to the crowd.
