Just wondering if anyone knows of a model of this commercial bird. I think it’s probably one of the best looking turbo prop aircraft I’ve ever seen. It’d be nice to have one on my desk.

Hi Bones, i will ask around my friends in the Saab owners club to see if there is one. someone amongst them will know for sure. Greg
Thanks Gregers. Here’s a pic on one if anyone is interested…
I’d suggest looking at the catalog of vac form kits by Welsh Models as a start, they have a lot of commercial aircraft in their range and you might find a kit of it there.
The closer you’ll get to is the Saab 340…
It might just be a ‘stretching’ exercice…
I have fond memories of the models depicted by these vacuum formed kits. My dad used to fly them! He’s on KLM 747-400’s now.
Hi Bones sorry but apparently no one makes a kit of this one. have you tried looking for one of those clip together models by a company like wooster or someone similar? they are pretty basic but look nice when built and are pre-painted. good luck with the search…Greg
That reminds me… Have a look round Ebay or something. Airlines usually have larger scale (1:72, 1:48-ish) promotional models lying around, and those usually end up being taken home by employees…
Here’s one, but be quick: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2189838952&category=14051
