Believe me, István, A-model kits are much more modeller-friendly than Mach 2... Take a look here, for example: modelingmadness.com/..korean/us/hammx2.htm

That's something to be excited about. Mach2 kits don't have the reputation of being shaking kits. 👍

As I said on the project, I wish you luck with this, it is something you seldom see, but it looks cool in the end. It is quite a long time ago when I did mine - al the best!
and, so far it does not look that bad for a mach2

Robert, once again you have chosen a great topic. The French experimental jet powered Leduc aircraft looked really futuristic at the time of its creation.
I wish you strong nerves and a lot of fun building your model!

The moldings are really terrible. The last time I saw such a horror was on an old Russian Il-2 in 1:48 scale. Plus the kit lacked any surface detail and the parts didn't fit together at all. I eventually built it, but the result was so bad that I left the plane for my sons to play with.
Compared to the Russian kit, this model is significantly better. Although it is far from finished. It will still need a lot of work, but the current state of the model suggests it can be done.
Fingers crossed. 👍 😉

Thanks for your encouragement, Ludviku! I have not much spare time now and that's why the progress is so slow. Nevertheless, the only problems I have encountered so far, are molding imperfections...that can be sorted off quite easily. In general, fit of the parts is surprisingly good.
I am also encouraged by the fact that both Martin, and Juergen have successfully finished this kit:

Hello, Greg. I know there's a Mi-1M kit in 1/72nd scale. Unfortunately, only this and a rather old kit from Special Hobby exists in 1/48 scale. In addition, this kit is an older version of the Mi-1A, which is different from the upgraded version of the Mi-1M. It has a different nose shape, different cockpit glazing and other minor changes. And since I decided to build the upgraded version of the Mi-1M, I will not avoid modifications to the kit.
To give you a better idea of the extent of the modifications to the kit, I've included a picture with the differences between the Mi-1A and Mi-1M versions color coded.

It's not too difficult to make new transparent parts by stretching warmed transparent foil over a pre-made template. Preparing the template is the most work. Stretching the warmed foil onto the template is just a routine that anyone can do after a few attempts.

I want to try to use the sandwich construction in the production of new glass parts for the coptics. So I made (using the same process as the transparent parts) parts out of white plastic sheeting. These parts will have holes cut out for the windows. The transparent part will then be inserted between these two parts. The white outer and inner parts will form the embossed framing of the transparent part.

I came back from vacation and it started to rain. Ideal conditions for modelling. 🙂
So I'm back and continuing to work on the model. I need to glue the finished nose to the glued fuselage so the cockpit overlay fits exactly. That determines the workflow. First I have to finish the nose and the inside of the fuselage and glue all the parts that need to be glued to the fuselage halves from the inside. After gluing the fuselage halves together, I would no longer be able to get to these parts (or only with great difficulty).
Photos of the work progress will be coming soon.

Mike, thank you for your interest. Welcome aboard!
I've had the idea for this rebuild in my head for a few years now. Mainly because I've been waiting to see if anyone would start making 1:48 scale Mi-1M kits. Unfortunately, to this day, no manufacturer has this kit in their lineup. So I decided not to wait any longer and start building a model from what I have available.
My rebuild is just beginning. Most of the work on the model is yet to be done. I'd also like to try some new techniques that came to mind while planning to build this model.
@Villiers
Thank you for the compliment. I appreciate it very much.

J35J welcome! I hope you like it here.
Bruce, I like a challenge like that. I like to experiment and enjoy thinking of and then implementing ways to improve my model.
I appreciate your concern for my safety. I live in a town in the highlands that wasn't badly affected by the floods. Only the river that runs through our town has increased flow, but it hasn't spilled out of its bed. Moreover, our house is 80 metres above the river, so even if the river had spilled out of its bed, it would certainly not have reached our house.

Alec, thank you for your support and your kind words.
Welcome, Frank. I hope you're okay, and I'm really glad you're one of my guests.
It's definitely not too late. I still have most of my work ahead of me. In fact, you could say I'm just getting started.

I'm struggling with time rather than the model at the moment. At least I managed to draw a new dashboard. After printing it in scale (1/48) on photo paper I will use it instead of the kit part.

Welcome, John. Please have a little patience. This project is quite demanding and I will need a lot of time to complete it.

Ok, I aimed that to "I can wait to see the final result" (but I'm still eager) 😉

Wow, the dashboard looks amazing. I can only imagine how much time that took. Really interested how it looks completed 👍

Alec, I drew the dashboard in the evenings for 5 days (about 3 to 4 hours each day). Add to that additional time (about 5 hours) for test printing and subsequent corrections.
I am attaching a photo of a test black and white print of the dashboard after all the modifications are complete. I will print the dashboard for the model in color later.

According to the photos I modified the fuselage where the main landing gear is attached to it.

Guy, Jakub and Robert thank you for your comments, it's a nice encouragement for further work.
After today, the hull is glued together. Now I'm adjusting the shape of the transparent cockpit cover.

I continue to enjoy seeing this one take shape. Quite the effort to convert it!

Villiers, the completion of the fuselage is only temporary at this time. It's only to modify the shape of the transparent cockpit cover.
Once the cockpit cover is the correct shape, I will take the fuselage nose down again to continue work on the cockpit interior.
