BY this, you mean a CMK set designed for the old tool Tamiya Mk.I fitting the new tool Tamiya Mk.I? I'd suggest listing the part number for the set, as that would explain better, ideally with a picture. But, as a direct fit? I'd think not, simply as the old tool Tamiya Mk.I is too wide, and resin sets tend to be made to fit a certain kit. It maybe adaptable, but unless you really need it NOW, I'm sure a set will be done in time for the new tool kit anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it's too wide in the fuselage, the resin firewall will be too wide if it is made to fit the existing kit, if the new tool kit is now correct.... see here for more on the old tool Tamiya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elias Posted March 24, 2019 Author Share Posted March 24, 2019 Thanks for your help Troy! I guess i have to wait untill someone releases a new engine set for the new tool kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony C Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Or another option would be to scratch your own firewall and modify the rest to suit, assuming that accuracy is not a major concern! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
