The Saab 105 OE Austrian Air Force is made of the finest kiln dried renewable mahogany wood (commonly known as Lauan or Meranti) which has undergone many stages of carving and meticulous and careful sanding giving the beautiful, finished museum quality masterpiece. Many collectors and model connoisseurs demonstrate their preference for genuine handmade and hand painted mahogany wood models rather than plastic or die cast (diecast) alternatives due to the overall look and totally different feel of the item - we trust you will find the same.

There are many types of military jet aircraft, but the basic types are bombers, fighters, fighter bombers, spotter planes, transporters, patrol aircraft, trainers, and reconnaissance and observation aircraft. All these types of aircraft are used for different types of missions. If you're a fan of historic or present-day military aviation, our model aircraft will bring the excitement and character of these aircraft right into your own home.

[editVariants
+Saab 105+.& : Prototype. Two built.
+SK 60A+.& : Two-seat jet trainer, liaison aircraft for the& Swedish Air Force. 149 built as Sk 60A.
+SK 60B+.& : Two-seat attack version for the Swedish Air Force, modified from Sk 60A with new weapons sight.
+SK 60C+.& : Two-seat ground attack/reconnaissance version for the Swedish Air Force with extended camera nose. One new build prototype and 29 conversions from Sk 60A.3
+SK 60D+.& : Saab had also designed the Saab 105 for use as a four-seat liaison transport: the two ejection seats could be removed and quickly replaced with four airline-type seats, with no provision for wearing a parachute; or four more austere seats that allowed the wearing of parachutes. In the mid-1970s, ten SK 60A aircraft were permanently configured as transports and given the designation of “SK 60D”. Some were painted in the light green / dark green / tan”splinter” camouflage& associated with the SAAB Viggen fighter.4
+SK 60E+.& : This variant was a similar four-seat SK 60A conversion, but featured commercial-type instruments, including an& instrument landing system. It was used to help train Flygvapnet reserve pilots in flying commercial aircraft. The SK 60E machines were eventually used as SK 60D liaison transports.4
+SK 60W+.& : In 1993, another upgrade program was initiated to modernize the SK 60, the most important improvement being fit of twin Williams Rolls FJ44 turbofans with 8.45& kN (861 kgp / 1,900& lbf) each and digital engine controls. The new engines not only provide more thrust, but are much quieter, cleaner, and easier to maintain. The first Williams-powered SK 60—known informally as the “SK 60(W)” — performed its initial flight in August 1995. A total of about 115 conversions of SK 60A, 60B, and 60C aircraft were performed in the late 1990s. No conversions were performed of the SK 60D/E, with all such aircraft grounded and used as spares hulks. There was consideration of upgrading the increasingly obsolete cockpit instrument system to feature two multifunction displays (MFDs), but it is unclear if this was ever implemented.
+Saab 105XT+.& : Export demonstrator; improved version of the SK 60B, re-engined with 12.85& kW (2,850& lbf)& General Electric J85& turbojets. Prototype converted from second Saab 105 prototype.5
+Saab 105D+.& : A refined business jet variant was considered, but the idea was out of date and there were no takers.1
+Saab 105G+.& : Revised version of 105XT with new avionics, including precision nav/attack system, more powerful J-85 engines and modified wing. One converted from 105 XT prototype.6
+Saab 105H+.& : Proposed version for the& Swiss Air Force. Never built.6
Saab 105Ö& : Variant of the 105XT for the& Austrian Air Force, first delivered to& Austria& in July 1970. 40 built, delivered 1970—1972, replacing the& de Havilland Vampire& and& Saab 29 Tunnan7
+Saab 105S+.& : In the mid-1970s, Saab proposed yet another demonstrator, the “Saab 105S” for a Finnish trainer requirement, but the Finns decided to buy the& BAe Hawk& instead.6
