Oh, the display model in f) was exhibited at MAKS '95 or '99, but unfortunately without any description. Now it's good to know the origin for this crazy design. Thank you, Flateric.

I believe a) and b) are actually M-52. Many thanks to Avico Press for all their great images.

Looking at the Tu-204 and...wow, can someone say Tristarski?

Does the 2nd from the bottom image model have a name?

There were some early M-52 models that looked like that.

Some M-50 model variants looked like that too...
