Can you turn a tail from a back skin into a "stuffed" tail to hang?

I would like to hear from taxidermists or people that have done this before. Maybe @gizmo would have some advice on this.

Logically it makes sense that it would be possible, but it also seems like back skins sometimes come back in a little less nice condition than other pieces.

I will post a couple pictures I found on the site (done by gizmo) below of the end result I would be looking for and wondering if it can be achieved from tails off back skins.

Yes absolutely !! That's how almost all African tails start out before turning them into something else any way.
 
As long as it has the tail it can be done. The pics above are “fly swatters” that I made.

We 'll visit Livingstone / Vic Falls for 3 days and 2 nights. Back to Mapcha by car, back to WDH with Airlink (grab my rifles and belongings) and the same day back to Frankfurt.
What do you mind from your own experience ? and your wife .? Did she appreciate ?
We already hunted Namibia in 2022, May for PG near Outjo for 8 days. Great country.
Thank you for your advises.

Hello Cecil
I am Philippe from Center of France. I plan to hunt Zambezi with Zana Botes in 2026, Oct after a couple of days for PG in Namibia in his lodge. I will be with my wife. She is not really a huntress and we promised to go visit Vic Falls. I imagine to go to Caprivi by car , hunt there 7 days (for buff) and go by car to Vic falls (PH will bring back my rifle) . sorry I am required to write 2 messages
