Yesterday, at a Saab Viggen FB forum one of Saab fans announced that he selling a very interesting and rare Saab gadget. It is 1:18 scale Radio Controled 1993 Saab 9-3 Viggen, 27 or 40 MHz. Produced by ATC, Marketed by Brio through SAAB dealers (SAAB part no 41229) and Swedish supermarkets.
The manufacturer of this interesting toy is a Japanese company “ATC”. “Asahi Toy Company” (ATC) was founded 1950 in Tokyo, Japan. They were a major postwar builder of mechanical and battery-operated toys. They initially used tin plate, and then moved into 1/43rd scale die-cast toys and later worked with plastic. Asahi’s disposition remains unclear to this day.

This model is very similar to the Remote Controlled Saab 9-3 Sport Combi model , a 1:20 scale model in Fusion Bluemetallic, the Saab 9-3 Sport Combi launch colour.
