For such a small and simple kit, it's really difficult to build. You're off to a good start!

I have vac-form fuselages for the TF-86, F-86D, and CA-27.  I am tempted to splice together bits from these to do a Sabre Dingo fuselage.  One apporach I was tempted to use is use RTV to clone these, cast copies, and cut and splice those to do a Sabre Dingo fuselage.

Loving your thinking

Great combo.
Using the 88mm Flak carriage is a terrific idea

Completely concur. And looking good, 'Mog

Anybody know about the diesel engine installation on IIRC the Danish rebuilds? I wondering what the engine deck and rear look like. I’ve wondered if a 1/48th M-60 engine deck would fit.

Attached is an image showing the rear deck of the M41DK1 conversion. The new engine is a Cummins VTA-903TR powerpack - a turbo-charged diesel V8 related to the VTA-903-T600 in upgraded Bradleys.

Is somewhere around 1950 and RAF is testing Meteor replacement.  Sure is keen how B-47 main landing gear is configured, lets try that on this one.

JOSEDAVINCI  has everything from intro figure painting to very advanced techniques. I don't do gaming miniatures, but his techniques work on regular figures. The videos are in Spanish but with excellent English subtitles.

It just occurred to me the TS-90 turret of the Panhard ERC-90 might be a good fit as well

Way back in this thread I have a mockup with a Bradley turret and a  LAV-150 Commando turret and Cockerill 90mm gun, so that may work.

Well, that was quite the holiday, wasn't it!

Good to see it back on the bench!
