It is an easy conversion without any conversion kit. 

Is the front cockpit on the TM in the same location as the cockpit on a standard fighter?

The conversion article I sent you has drawings - did you not get it?

Warpaint No. 66 on Bristol Bulldog contains both photos and colour profiles of K-3180 of No. 41 Squadron and K-3181 of No. 19.

There are minimum two full 1/72 resin kits of TM. One by HRmodel and one by Omega Models. I have the former, not bad, just seems to be slightly undernourished in the fuselage.

If you plan conversion, you will have to take care about three major differences - the obvious second cockpit, different fin and rudder compared to the single-seater (at least two types - check the references) and 3,5 deg sweepback on both wings, introduced in order to compensate for the shift of CG caused by the rear cockpit..

I did receive them, but naturally didn't think to compare them to plain plans. Has college worn me down so fast? It's been 3 weeks! 😃🔨
