Japanese WWII Airforce L2D2 [TABBY] Info

Hi does anyone have any WWII Fotos or info on the Japanese DC-3 / C-47 Version L2D2/3/4/ [ TABBY ]
I am trying to do a Italeri kit conversion.

Different engines and cowlings, different window arrangement (extra windows in front fuselage, and I believe a round one somewhere), different aerials, different undercarriage. Other than that basically a standard DC-3 (not C-47, it was copied from the civilian prewar DC-3). Should be some pics available online, and there’s several (parts of) books for sale online. Did a model on it ages ago. Easy conversion.

From what I understand, the Tabby was more or less identical to the DC-3 although I believe it was powered by the Kinsei engine (?)

What specifically are you wanting to know?

(In short, if you just make sure the paint scheme is of that used by the Japanese, I feel like any stock DC-3/C-47 kit would suffice.)
