Not quite a Mk. 32, but I did see this Mk. 31 at the Queensland Air Museum this morning.
I also bought a F-86 Sabre book by Maurice Allward which lists specifications on all Sabre models. It mentions Firestreak missiles being tested on the Mk. 31.

There is footage of a Sabre with the RAAF Serial number A94-922 carrying Firestreak missiles:
And when you search up the serial number, it corresponds with a CAC Sabre CA27 Mk.30. Where it i mentions it being used for air trials for developmen of Blue Jay Missile, which went on to become the Firestreak.

Yes please.
Meaning that CA-27 Mk.30 with Firestreak and CA-27 Mk.32 with AIM-9B should be be added.

This one doesn’t have cannons though, but would be kinda cool.

+1 pretty neat
Mk.30 would need some ahistorical cannons to be added, but I’m for it.
Also, wouldn’t be opposed to just having the Mk.32 with the option for AIM-9Bs or ahistorical Firestreaks.
There would be nothing ahistorical about the standard fit 30mm ADENs on a Mk.30, or the Firestreak trials aircraft.
@Razielkaine told me about this beefed up sabre recently. Engine from a hunter, guns from a harrier.
+1 for british commonwealth TT

This is pure hopium but, in light of Indonesia’s addition to the Japanese tech-tree, Gaijin could hit ‘two birds with one stone’ seeing as this is a unique variant of the sabre not yet in game.
One to wherever the Aussies want their Sabres to be and another one looking just like this in Japan.
Hope to see you soon…

What I meant was that the Firestreak trials aircraft didn’t have cannons. Look at the pic… you can see the gun ports are faired over.
But I agree with your point! Combining features from multiple Mk.30s into 1 aircraft would not be ahistorical.
