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.

I think I would have had a nervous breakdown with those decals. Flawless! Well done.

Saubere Arbeit Zoltan!!! Beide Modelle sind Dir sehr gut gelungen!! Der Bronze Tiger wartet in meinem Stash auch schon auf mich 😄 Hast Du die Farbe für den Tiger nach Revell Mischvorgabe mit Aquas gemacht oder haste andere Farben dafür verwendet?

Stunning! Those are beautiful. I have this Baron Spirit and the Big Ed that goes with it. It would be nice to have it displayed gear down, canopy open, boarding ladder installed, etc; but then again I'm thinking inflight in a turn so you can see both sides of this great decal sheet. Any thoughts since you built yours? Again, that's a stunning model! Congratulations.

Could you tell me what colors you used for the main and main trim color? The Revell colors aren't coming up with many equivalents.
Thanks,

Make yourself comfortable, István and J35J. This will be surely a long party... 😉
27 August, 13:25

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
27 August, 15:20
![](/profiles/img/104687-298-s.jpg)
That's something to be excited about. Mach2 kits don't have the reputation of being shaking kits. 👍
27 August, 15:50
![](/profiles/img/10591-s.jpg)
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

What an audience I have... I feel a bit under pressure now 😉 @Martin - you're right, at least the polistyrene seems to be of a good quality.

Extra like for the striking project title 😂! I expected an old KP kit first…
27 August, 20:56

Soo many seams.... Watching this tutorial for sure 😉. OMG, Robert, that's quite a critique of MACH, kits.... Good Luck!

It's such a cool subject, I remember seeing it in my dads airplane books when I was young.
27 August, 21:42

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!
27 August, 22:30
![](/profiles/img/48972-166-s.jpg)
Now I feel even more pressure 😉 ... @Bruce - I know what I am talking about, I have completed a few models from both producers already 😉 @Ludvik - I was lucky enough to see both Leduc 010 and 022 in Le Bourget museum and they still look futuristic imho 🙂

He certainly wouldn't be a disgrace as a space fighter in Star Wars. 😄
The photos of the kit parts show that you really have a lot of work ahead of you.

Hi Robert, Haha! 'da Putty Party'... Love it!... Following with great interest 🙂
28 August, 10:29
![](/profiles/img/48972-166-s.jpg)
Still, the plastic is workable, Ben. As far as I have checked: it can be filed, filled, and glued... So, there is hope... 😄
28 August, 13:40

I looked in the stash and I have a mach2 kit I bought when I was young and foolish.
28 August, 13:45
![](/profiles/img/48972-166-s.jpg)
I have five, not counting this one... Hmm...the testimony of what kind of mental disease it is? Nothwithstanding, only Mach 2 offered models of some exotic planes, like X-24.
28 August, 14:19
![](/profiles/img/20442-422-s.jpg)
I wish you luck Robert. Your going to need it (and probably a stiff drink or four). 😉
Was the kit mould made from soap? 😄
28 August, 15:14
![](/profiles/img/48972-166-s.jpg)
Thanks for your encouraging words, Gorby! ... It seems probable, taking into account that in some Mach 2 kits the material itself is "soapy"... 😄
28 August, 16:08
![](/profiles/img/44957-709-s.jpg)
A French prototype and a Mach 2 kit? Can't miss that... I see I'm late but a seat way back in the gallery must be still available...

Feel warmly welcomed, Alex, Jennifer and M0rce! I am glad to have you all aboard. @Alex - I have started this album yesterday, so you're not late 🙂
