Ok so I’ve wanted to add one of these to my collection for ages and definitely fits the project cancelled brief. I also have a pretty goon set of plans courtesy of the December 1982 edition of scale models. And now the final pieces of the puzzle have fallen into place. I have a as pretty good ( when it works) 3D printer and have finally bitten the bullet and started using 3D CAD on my home PC ( first the free fusion 360 which is good but I have 20 years plus professional solidworks experience) and bought a Solidworks for maker’s subscription…. So the plan is first to CAD up the Saunders Roe then print it, build it and paint it. Still haven’t decided which scale, I have a scratch built Caproni campini as well as a Gloster whittle and a Heinkel 170 in the stash all in 1/48 so I’m leaning that way but it’ll be quite a large build so maybe 1/72 that said it’d be pretty cute in 1/144 hmm probably do that one anyway. Anyhoo CAD first then printing decisions. Once completed I’ll probably make the files and prints available for a modest fee.

I thought it might be best to separate our F-86A discussion from the original one on Sabre 2's- I hope that's OK with you all. While looking for photos of F-86 speedbrakes (Thanks, @Sabrejet!) I found this link to WW2 and Korean War Sabre ace George Davis that might just convince me to do his 'Miss Behaving' instead of my all-time favorite, Bruce Hinton's 'Squanee' You can click on the photo of his F-86 to see a larger image. I hope the article and photos will be useful and informative. If you go to the home page, you will find numerous links to WW2 and Korean War aces and aircraft- I think this site is a very good modeling reference. Mike http://acepilots.com/korea/george.html I also found a link to a photo that shows a rear view of the Sabre's speedbrakes fully deployed; the best photo I could find that shows the characteristic 'droop' of the boards when fully opened, and I include it here as it's relevant for the A through F Sabre variants. I think this is a Canadair-built Sabre that has been restored as a Golden Hawk airplane. https://www.airplane-pictures.net/photo/241572/g-sabr-golden-apple-operations-north-american-f-86-sabre/ Also this link to an excellent closeup of the v-shaped windscreen fitted to A's and early E's Click on photo to see a larger image http://warbirdsnews.com/warbirds-news/rare-f-86a-sabre-air-again.html
