  A longer central support - like that sported by the E15K1 Shiun - would've helped. 


Any longer and the pilot would have had to be on oxygen before take-off!  :o
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

The floats from a Curtiss SC-1 (there's a Smer kit) would IMHO be a good match, too.

The Monogram Kingfisher float is undersized for the Kingfisher, they screwed up when
they made the kit, so it's even more off for this use.

In terms of size and weight it's in a range similar to the Kawanishi N1K1 Kyofu/Rex,
so the Tamiya Kyofu float would be a better choice, and yes, like all of the real world
centre float aircraft that were worth a damn, it has more than one float attachment.

That Sabre is quite a Frankenstein creation! Very nice, and very subtle, too.  :thumbsup:

Looks like it has Sabre Dog nose, Starfire cockpit, and Avon Sabre wings and rear end? Brilliant :thumbsup:

The Sabre kitbash also includes two Aden 30mm guns instead of the F-86K's twin 20mm cannoms.

I've read that the Sabre Dog was originally designed like that, but the weight increase of two-seats (and associated equipment), guns and FFAR's proved too much. So it was re-designed to how we all know it.

That's a neat idea. I love the Sabre Dog and that looks right. Good info as well Robert.
