What wing does the Heller kit depict? Is it the 39ft slatted 6/3?

I know this thread is from years ago but I am researching building an RAF Sabre from the Heller kit. I just measured its wingspan and it's just over 37'.  So, as Dave F said,  it looks like it's intended to be the  Canadair Mk6 wing 6-3 with slats.  Not the extended span 39' wing.

the Heller kit's ailerons go all the way to the wingtip, so of course it's a standard span 6-3 slatted wing of the Sabre Mk6

Thanks but I just also measured the chord at the root of the Heller wing. 10ft.  So does that mean it is an early slatted one after all and not a 6-3?

nope, it's just off on its measurements,  it is supposed to be a Sabre 6 wing.  I did this a few years ago;
