Vandy1 VX-4 Posted August 15, 2021 Posted August 15, 2021 Hello everyone!!!! I was wondering if anybody did do the conversion for this for the Tamiya kit? That is a 1/32 scale Mk XVIII Tse-Tse Mosquito For the Tamaya kit? I thought we would see one by now at least with all the 3-D printing going 3
seiran01 Posted August 15, 2021 Posted August 15, 2021 Nothing exists yet unfortunately, with the exception of the old Paragon conversion set 3
krow113 Posted August 15, 2021 Posted August 15, 2021 Alley Cat , perhaps? I have their 1/24 Tse Tse conversion. No cannon but a decent set. 3

Got everything but the shell ejection port made. I need to get to it one day. Carl Edited August 16, 2021 by BlrwestSiR Fix typo 5 1

I wish you would make a conversion set for this too!!! Thanks! The Tamiya kit lends itself to a conversion as just about everything would be swapping out kit parts. The biggest hurdle might be the extra armour that goes on either side of the nose and wing rads. You'd have to make them from sheet styrene. I asked Harold if he was interested in making moulds from the boys when I was done initially. Might have to check in with him when I get them done. Carl 1
Vandy1 VX-4 Posted August 17, 2021 Author Posted August 17, 2021 A simple Photo Etch for the Armor would work don’t you think? As a stencil for Strip styrene and sheet too! 2

That certainly would work nicely. I want to get my Tiger Meet CF-18 going and then I'll take another crack at finishing the bits for the Tse Tse. 3
