Saab.... Motorhome?!

[chunkypeanutbutter]

Right section? I mean it's built on a Saab 92 chassis... wellidanoh...

Anyways! I've been looking for a motorhome kit in 1/24 or 1/25 scale. I couldn't find one that I liked. Really, I couldn't find one.

So then I thought to make one.

Even though they're really quite boxy, (the style I'm looking for, think Winnie Brave/Indian) it's too many corners for me to deal with.

Enter this: the Saab 92h.

Built on a Saab 92 chassis!

Zero corners, so looks easy enough to replicate. And the roof is streamlined! The sides are flat! Everything is flat!

I estimate I could make it with five big pieces of styrene.

Could be interesting ... but fun for sure!

Odd but kind of cool too....I too would love to build a few motor homes and camping trailers.

Bizarro, indeed.

Here is a picture I took a couple of years ago at a vintage show about 20 miles from where I live.

I for sure looks like a challenging drive as the track width of an old SAAB isn't that wide.

Yes a really cool project. I have never seen it for real myself but I followed the rescue and the restoration of of both of these Saab motorhomes. Really two unique creations.
