Mi-1M, model conversion by Special Hobby - WIP

For the bow I used a modified upper plastic part from the kit and made a new lower part with windows. For the bow I used...

Ludvík KružíkI still miss this small helicopter in my collection of flying machines used in Czechoslovakia. The time has come for me to rectify that. 😉

Ludvík KružíkHello, 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.

Greg BakerOh, neat! I didn't realize there were so many changes between the versions. This is going to look great!

Ludvík KružíkGreg, thank you for your support.

I started building the model by making new transparent parts.

Greg BakerYeah. Nice work on the heat-n-smash moulding for the clear parts. That can be tricky to do.

Ludvík Kružík@Alec K
I used to buy ABC magazine regularly as a kid and eagerly awaited each new issue 🙂. I assume your mention of ABC magazine refers to the occasional modeling tutorial section.
@gorby, @Greg Baker
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.

Ludvík KružíkHello, Robert! Good to see you here. You haven't missed much so far. Up to this point I've been more concerned with preparation than building the model.
28 August, 20:59
Ludvík KružíkI 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.

RandoHad no idea that they made a carrier borne Mosquito til I saw this project, lots of interesting and unique features to include here

J35J@Rando - Thanks for your intrest, indeed it is a quite unique bird.
Derived from the Mosquito the Sea Mosquito was intended to be used aboard the Fleet Air Arm's aircraft carriers. During its time in service it would only be used by land based squadrons. Two variants of the de Havilland Sea Mosquito were built and only 67 was produced.

Andy Ballwell, this version I haven't heard of, so I'll crane my neck over yours...

Łukasz GlińskiSeems quite a logical idea - staying afloat in case of ditching into the sea 😄

Bernd GrünVery nice project. It turns out very well. 👍 Didn't know anything about Sea Mosquitos.
15 March, 14:22
J35JThanks mates for your intrest and kind comments. The project is slowly moving forward. Waiting for some photo etch parts.
15 March, 19:45
J35JThanks David & Rando for you comments. Much appreciated👍🏻
Paint job and a light weathering in progress. Need to crack on with the decals in next phase before getting the folded wings in place.
21 June, 09:18
Robert PodkońskiSomehow I missed this project before... And I have never heard about Sea Mossie up to now... Great job so far - keep it up!
28 June, 18:59
J35JThanks BC NRA for your kind comments. Yes, the Sea Mosquito was a rare bird. Always fun to research & build the more odd versions.

J35JThanks Thomas for your kind comments.
Just realized going for the final photos that I missed the wind shield wiper for the front screen. Details, details…🙈😅
7 July, 20:12
Łukasz GlińskiVery cool. Wish I could get that conversion set. The nose pimple is just a cherry on the cake 😄
8 July, 09:42
J35JThanks Villiers de Vos & Lukasz Gliński for your intrest and kind comments!👍🏻
@ Lukasz Gliński - you can find a conversion kit here:

J35JFinal pictures added. Project completed!
Fun build, pretty straightforward with the paragon conversion kit. Did some additional exterior detailing. Lesson learned - I should have gone with the Tamiya kit instead of Hasegawa. This due to Tam's better detail level both regarding interior and exterior. Now I had to compensate with additional resin and photo etch instead.
Going for some R&R now. Have a nice summer mates! 🏖️😎
