> Wow!!! Really cheap. The only problem is how to buy there and probably the shipping will be around $5 per model to me. But still cheap.

Alex,
I just visited the kenga.ru site and I want to warn you - most likely the models they have pictured will not be exactly like the actual models that they sell. Unless they are selling models from people>s old collections :).
The reason is that they show high-quality models the way they were made in the 80>s - just look at ZIL-115 (they are not made with antennas for many years now) or Volga Aeroflot (old style, with just writing on the side and without "Follow Me" roof fixture). Also, their RAF and GAZ-24 models have old-style wheels, and many other details. I think the only models honestly represented are Elecon (Kamaz, Ural, ZIL trucks), because they have maintained and improved their quality over the years. The other models (Agat) are cheap, and they will look cheap too if you get them - less detail, plastic instead of chrome, etc.
So you be the judge. If you want to collect high-quality russian mass-production models, buying from older private collections will be your best bet (this goes for Moskvitch, VAZ, GAZ, RAF, Russo-Balt and UAZ). This is just a suggestion, but it comes from my own experience.
