Completely hand made Saab 340 B airplane model
Every visible contour is treated like a small craft object, not a mass-market shell.
Implementation details
Saab 340 B
A handcrafted regional turboprop model built for sim pilots, collectors, and people who still stop to watch a propeller aircraft taxi past the window.

Enhanced night lighting system
Cabin, cockpit, beacon, landing, and navigation lighting are planned as a signature feature.
Navigraph integration
Designed around modern route planning and navigation workflows for serious simulator use.
Pilot friendly tablet EFB gauge

Build progress
A transparent build trail.
This static page is the home for implementation progress, current priorities, and material notes for the Saab 340 B model.
01
In progress
Reference board
Real aircraft references are being grouped by angle, door placement, lighting, propeller geometry, and landing gear stance.
02
Planned
Exterior sculpt
The fuselage, wing roots, nacelles, tailplane, windows, antennas, and service doors will be blocked as a clean static master.
03
Planned
Night lighting pass
Tiny LEDs and diffusers will be mapped before paint so the model has a believable evening-ramp presence.
04
Planned
EFB and navigation layer
Tablet gauge screens, route cues, and integration notes will be gathered here as the build matures.
