Rob noted his disgust with SAAB in stating:
I'm paying $400 for this model, so it DOES **** me off. SAAB sucks...
I've waited months for this garbage

Point one, Did this proposal ever make it off the proposal table? The nuke
portion was probably classified and still is. "Proper drawings" were probably
never even made.

Point two, SAAB is no different than most military contractors, unless you are
"someone" who "might" throw work their way, they don't care "who" you are. The
auto group doesn't talk to the military group or vice versa, so it doesn't
bother the military side if you don't buy a new sedan.

Most military manufacturers only provide detailede info to people who will do
them some good.
Most military proposals in the past never get off the paper sketch stage.
Most military aircraft scale plans don't exist except for advertising purposes
or when prepared by some enthusiast (with various degrees of quality and
accuracy).

The short answer is that unless you are General Muckity Muck of the procurement
division of the Royal Herpes AF, don't expect too mucha and you will not be
disapointed.

Your $400.00 model is not worth their effort and brings them no real business.

P.S. The best general arrangement drawings are those used by the paint and
marking shop.
