I belive it depends on, (I'm not sure, Urban might know it better than I),
a Swede who wanted to produce a kit. He was born in Poland and know the right 
people in Poland to produce a kit for a reasonabel price. A rumour says
that the same Swede is planning to produce a SAAB B17 and a SAAB sk60 (105).
But if anyone is interessted, there are a lot of shortruns of Swedish aircrafts
such as SAAB 18 Bomber, J22 and SK14 (I think a J21R is avialable) and much
more. I think it is Sten Sundelin who made some of them. He have also an 
exelent aftermarket decalsheet for the J22.
