You might be SOL on this one, unless you want the promotional one. That one is garbage as well.
There are a few model companies that do make the USAirexpress Saab 340, that you build. But they are tiny. Wingspan is about 5-6 inches.

Why don't you just buy the aircraft itself? You can get them pretty cheap these days.

This guy will do it.
This guy/company will build a SAAB 340 wooden model with any paint scheme you want.. Mesaba old or even the new Silver SAAB paint scheme. He'll even throw on whatever N-number you want on it. I ordered and received a BEAUTIFUL model (as beautiful as the SAAB can get) and it was somewhere around $75 bucks. Email Winston Uy at builderscience@yahoo.com. I am VERY PLEASED with the model he built for me.

BigPicture speaks the truth, English. He might even be exaggerating on the high end, I thought they were closer to $500k.

Last time I was in BGR -last summer- there were plenty of tired (but up to date MXC wise) A model Saabs getting pinker by the day, just dreaming of a new home.
I would guess that some of those double-digit serial number ships with around 70,000 cycles could be had for a song.

Hey, I'd grab a used-up A-model Saab for a half mill before I'd spend the same money on a new light twin.
