I polished the epoxy templates and drilled holes in the underside, into which I glued the wooden log. I used the blocks ...

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.

Built it as a boy n re-visiting for nostalgia.
Well done..👍👍

OMG, all that wiring, however did you make it without losing track? But a very beautiful model it turned out to be, I am super impressed!
18 August, 07:51
![](/profiles/img/112299-615-s.jpg)
The wiring was really quite challenging. I used the instructions for the model from Wingnut wings in 1:32 scale as a good wiring diagram. It took me about about a month to stretch all the wires.There were moments when I did not believe that I would finish it. 😉

Okay. I thought this was 1:32 when I saw it. Now that I realize it's 1:72 I'm even more amazed.

Planning to make a forced perspective diorama? If so, looks like a great idea 🙂 following!
14 August, 14:20
![](/profiles/img/55915-384-s.jpg)
Yes, my first time to try forced perspective diorama. I Also prepared two Akagi, 1:700 and 1:2000. Will try to finish by this weekend.
15 August, 05:09
![](/profiles/img/57594-145-s.jpg)
This is really interesting and creative! And the models look absolutely beautiful too.

Sky, you did a wonderful job. I have to agree, there is a lot of work put into this effort. Thanks for sharing.
18 August, 14:14
![](/profiles/img/55070-763-s.jpg)
Now that is different. I have never seen something like this before. RESPECT!
18 August, 14:15
![](/profiles/img/21096-573-s.jpg)
you could actually have all of this in a box, with a small window that would allow to see only the right perspective. a show stopper in any modelling event!
18 August, 14:28
![](/profiles/img/121752-978-s.jpg)
Definitely impressive! I don't know which is more impressive - the forced perspective, the insane painting of the small aircraft, the beautiful water and explosive effects, or the overall orchestration! This is definitely the "Neuling" of air and sea dioramas!

While waiting for some paints to arrive in the mail to continue my MiG-23 build project, I decided to do a very quick build of the Eduard L-39 in my stash. This kit is labeled as a "weekend" build, which might be a bit optimistic for me, but should still be a quick progress.
14 June, 07:14
![](/profiles/img/111505-470-s.jpg)
Do you already have a plan for the shades you're going to use? I found the L-39 classic camouflage very hard to get right. I hope you'll have more luck with it.

For the Hungarian standard camo, MRP has released an entire set, consisting of MRP-351 Brown, MRP-352 Dark Green and MRP-353 Light Blue.
18 June, 16:11
![](/profiles/img/57594-145-s.jpg)
Yesterday I spent some time comparing the hue and tint of the MRP paints with my own mix of Tamiya acrylics (as described in photo 26 above), and found them to be absolutely identical. I also found the MRP paints much too smelly and aggressive and hard to adjust if you want to blend in slightly varying tones in panels etc. The Tamiyas can furthermore be used for extremely diluted thin filter applications, while the MRP are block solid.
19 June, 06:49
![](/profiles/img/111505-470-s.jpg)
Well done on those paints!
I agree with you, Tamiya paints spray great and don't smell nearly as nasty as MRP's.
19 June, 13:22
![](/profiles/img/13641-502-s.jpg)
I see you mixed too much of this colour and used it on the background 😋
Lovely preshading, sth I don't have enough patience for

Very nice painting job, Thomas. Looks fantastic so far 👍
I recently saw that Edward has released the transparent parts of this kit as "L-39 Revised Canopy":
L-39 Revised Canopy (Eduard 7040Y, 1:72)
Do you know what problem the original transparent parts have?
24 July, 17:49
![](/profiles/img/57594-145-s.jpg)
Cuajete, thank you! No, I wasn't aware of any issues with the canopy. To me, the version provided in the kit is good enough, it certainly looks correct compared with photos.
24 July, 19:53
![](/profiles/img/25743-467-s.jpg)
I'm not sure, but the kit photos show onle the multi part canopy. The revised Canopy kit also has a single peace closed version.
25 July, 04:27
![](/profiles/img/57594-145-s.jpg)
Nicolas, yes, you are right. With the new set you also get a closed canopy so the builder doesn't have to join the separate pieces together. I guess it makes for a simpler build.
25 July, 06:07
![](/profiles/img/25743-467-s.jpg)
@ Cuajete: I tried it direktly from Thomas' albums. There it works, but ther is a notice that comments are disabled.
26 July, 18:00
![](/profiles/img/87527-778-s.jpg)
Very nice! This build reminds me that I started a similar kit more thas ten years ago, with a Czech camo and some decals already applied...Now It's om the "shelf od doom" ...Maybe something I'll retake it!
27 July, 20:07
![](/profiles/img/57594-145-s.jpg)
And with a little effort, the project is pushed over the finishing line. Photos will come soon!
