Mark here is the problem the chord of the Senior Cadets wing is about 15 inchs and that of the Thunder Tiger trainer is likely about eleven inchs and that is going to make coming up with kind of wing hold down very clumsy indeed also there will be the need to slide the wing fore or aft in order to come up with a reasonable Cg which is the quarter chord of the cadet wing or the spar and that extra wide wing is going look strange indeed on that fuselage intended for a much narrower wing chord.

I have always been a big fan of 'Kit Bashing' but this one is likely to turn into a can of worms.

Sorry. John

John's right, it's a mismatch. They aren't close enough in physical size to make a good interchange. Donor wings from many other similar size (close to the same wing cord and wingspan) airplanes would work. Memory tells me the Thunder Tiger Trainer 40 had a flat bottom wing, so stick with other flat bottom wings with a cord near to the Tiger cord. Using the original rubber band mounting system makes for an easy interchange. Lots of options out there, just not the Kadet Senior.

Not to mention the ratio of wing to tail area would be completely wrong.
