Hi,

Very nice collection.
Lots of memories from back in the days with An-2, An-24 and An-26!
Are the IL-86’s, custom made models!?

Yes they are custom made (IL-86 Aeroflot and IL-96 Cubana)

Love it! The Red Wings is very nice too.

Glad we will see the IL18 and IL62 soon and hope the IL86, TU204 and Yak42 will follow soon.

I'm assuming the Red Wings Tu-204 is also from asmodels? I've just commissioned one of those as well.

Yes. The TU-204 is from asmodels.
It is a nice model with lots of details.
Airplanes from asmodels are very well made and detailed. They are really Pros. Highly recommended if you are looking for hard to find/not released models (both western and eastern airplanes).

Hi Murtaza, I and a couple of others in this forum (crownvic comes to mind) are Russian collectors. Your collection is beautifully growing. I started with a couple and now it's growing out of control which I am ecstatic about. I posted these collections sometime back here in the forum and putting the link here in case you have missed it. I am very proud of my Russians. Since my last post on these Russians, I have acquired some new custom ones that I will post later. Also, I have been to Mozambique and to your beautiful city of Maputo when I used to work on cruise ships. More power to your Russians!

Agreed, the Malev IL-18 and Aeroflot IL-62 that Sergey posted here a while back are now safely in my cabinets.

Hi DouglasDC5

Thank you for your kind words and the links to your impressive Russian collection. You have lots of models I really want. You and other fellow members here at the forum have inspired me to start collecting Russian models.
I started collecting in 2018, and I think I bought my first Russian model in 2019. Before that I had few models I bought as souvenirs.
Unfortunately, there is nothing available in LAM Mozambique colors (the flag carrier of my country) – only a 1:400 DC-10 in 80´s colors and a 1:500 767 in 2000´s colors. I Would like to see an IL62 in LAM Mozambique colors (they have flown one in the 80´s).
Please share with us your updated Russian collection!

Missing TU-114?

Gold Leader · 12-03-2020, 01:22 AM

Love the Tu-144S the CCCP-77110 I see you have got that one as well, it's by far Herpa's best Tu-144 model imo.

also love the Antonov AN-22 Antei, An-124 Condor & An-225 Mriya
