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...

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

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.

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

Greg, thank you for your support.

I started building the model by making new transparent parts.

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

@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.

Hello, 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.

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.

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

@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.

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

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

Very nice project. It turns out very well. 👍 Didn't know anything about Sea Mosquitos.

Thanks mates for your intrest and kind comments. The project is slowly moving forward. Waiting for some photo etch parts.

Thanks 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.

Somehow I missed this project before... And I have never heard about Sea Mossie up to now... Great job so far - keep it up!

Thanks BC NRA for your kind comments. Yes, the Sea Mosquito was a rare bird. Always fun to research & build the more odd versions.

Thanks 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…🙈😅

Very cool. Wish I could get that conversion set. The nose pimple is just a cherry on the cake 😄

Final 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! 🏖️😎
