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.

This was a really enjoyable kit for the 1:72 scale. Availability of this kit in the US is a bit scarce, but definitely ...

Thank you everyone for your likes. 😀
Harald. I put the two side by side to show the differences in the paint. It was an eye opener to see how there was so much variation on such a color!
Giannis, I used X-19 + X-24 using a 5:1 ratio. Perhaps a 4:1 would have worked better. I'll note this in the pictures for reference.
RichardL from this forum deserves the credit for the Have Glass mixture I based the new build off of - arcforums.com/forums..70-who-got-it-right/

thanks Edouard! Hope he enjoys it! I had to special order this Hasegawa beast-mode kit, as they don't carry it in the US.

Nice interesting kit, like it. Not heard of the brand.

Wow, excellent build and story. I have seen a few documentaries about PanAm recently, very interesting. Can you go a bit more into detail as to how you made the windows and what product you used?
