Italeri F-86 Sabre into a Canadair Mk6

[BlrwestSiR]

Hi folks, I just managed to find an Italeri F-86F Sabre for a decent price. I'm hoping to make it into a Canadair Mk6 Sabre.

Any idea on what's needed for the changes? I don't know much about Sabres except that they had wings...

I don't know squat Carl, but I know several here do.....harv

That's what I'm hoping for Harv. Lots of knowledgable folks on here.

Any info yet on the work needed to modify the NA Sabre into a Canadian F-86 Sabre yet?

Keep 'em comin

Peter, for the Mk6, it looks like I'd need the sugar scoop intakes on the rear fuselage and the 6-3 wing which the kit I bought doesn't have. 

But I can build a Mk4 OOB more or less so that's what I'm going to do. Now to find some suitable decals.

Hasn’t someone just released a Sabre F4 in 1/48?
