Thanks again to DAC member Douglas-DC5 for turning me on to Sergey, a custom model-maker in Ukraine. I've gotten the first batch of 1:200 customs made of aircraft that I flew last year on a trip across Siberia.
Alrosa (old colors) Tu-134B-3, Angara An-148, and Alrosa (new colors) An-38
Didn't notice the front gear of the An-148 was a little wonky until after the pictures, but it went back together fine.
Slight mistake on this one - they labeled it as a Tu-154B-3 thankfully it's not terribly noticeable except in closeups. I'm so happy to have these models of "flown on" aircraft for me that are not likely to be made any time soon in diecast.

Nothing but the best! "I don't know why they call this stuff hamburger helper. It does just fine by itself, huh? I like it better than tuna helper myself, don't you, Clark?"
"you're the gourmet around here, Ed!"
Thanks for sharing what are some of the most beautiful models I've ever seen, especially as they're so rare. I really love the An-14/28/38 family — they're so endearing! They must've cost more than your flights on them, but what a fantastic souvenir.
I think I've found his website: http://asmodels.com.ua/en
... which has more stunning photos. I particularly like the experimental aircraft page — screenshots below.
