The MB.26 was a W-strut wing braced sesquiplane, the upper wing was attached at the top of the fuselage and the lower was below the fuselage.[1] It had one main float under the lower wing and two stabilizing floats on the wingtips.[1] This HB.2 variant was followed by a modified C.2 configuration to turn it into a two-seat fighter seaplane.[1] The C.2 had a new round-sided fuselage, the HB.2 had a slab-sided fuselage, and a new tailplane.[1] Neither variant was ordered or entered production.[1]
