If you meant using the Trumpeter lower hull on the Tamiya upper, it is still an odd question. The Trumpeter Hornet kit's hull--upper and lower--are "notoriously" horribly shaped. Far too blunt, and the lower hull is missing the bulbous forefoot. It is considered so badly done that Tom's released an entirely new upper hull to correct it.
So...no...you "can't" (don't really want to) use the Trumpeter lower hull for anything... (If you see what I mean.) It is the object you are trying to avoid with all this aftermarket stuff in the first place. Additionally, since the Tamiya kit is under scale, the Trumpeter lower hull will not fit the Tamiya kit; it will be too large. Previous Message
since there are questions/answers about the Tom's HORNET kit, it is waterline, but does Trumpeter have a Lower Hull and can you use Trumpeter hull??
Thanks for your time.

i was going to get a Tamiya USS HORNET in 1:700 off of Facebook's Market Place for $15 ... but - I backed out of the deal. I decided to get a Hasegawa F-9F off Amazon, and decals for it off Ebay...
But, f I ever decide to get the HORNET, could I have it built NOT as the Dolittle Raid HORNET ... Could I have it built as the Midway HORNET?
How was she armed during that battle?
