Mi-1M, model conversion by Special Hobby - WIP新的: 18 September, 10:07 1:48
I used a piece of transparent tree to make the reflector on the fuselage nose. I cut a 2mm thin slice of it and polished...

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!

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

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.

I came back from vacation and it started to rain. Ideal conditions for modelling. 🙂
So I'm back and continuing to work on the model. I need to glue the finished nose to the glued fuselage so the cockpit overlay fits exactly. That determines the workflow. First I have to finish the nose and the inside of the fuselage and glue all the parts that need to be glued to the fuselage halves from the inside. After gluing the fuselage halves together, I would no longer be able to get to these parts (or only with great difficulty).
Photos of the work progress will be coming soon.

Oh some modeling for big boys, not glueing perfectly fitting parts together and throwing on some paint! Following 👍

I glued several parts to both halves of the fuselage. These parts are glued from the inside, so they have to be glued before the fuselage is closed.
I also started working on making new parts for the cockpit.

@Landlubber Mike
Mike, thank you for your interest. Welcome aboard!
I've had the idea for this rebuild in my head for a few years now. Mainly because I've been waiting to see if anyone would start making 1:48 scale Mi-1M kits. Unfortunately, to this day, no manufacturer has this kit in their lineup. So I decided not to wait any longer and start building a model from what I have available.
My rebuild is just beginning. Most of the work on the model is yet to be done. I'd also like to try some new techniques that came to mind while planning to build this model.
@Villiers
Thank you for the compliment. I appreciate it very much.

Wow! You don't shy away from challenges! Watchinh with admiration, and hoping to learn lots too. Hoping you are not amongst the floods? Stay safe!

J35J welcome! I hope you like it here.
Bruce, I like a challenge like that. I like to experiment and enjoy thinking of and then implementing ways to improve my model.
I appreciate your concern for my safety. I live in a town in the highlands that wasn't badly affected by the floods. Only the river that runs through our town has increased flow, but it hasn't spilled out of its bed. Moreover, our house is 80 metres above the river, so even if the river had spilled out of its bed, it would certainly not have reached our house.

Was going to do the Battle of Britain version of this kit but I'm temped to have a go at some winter white wash and the wasp is cooler than the shark mouth 😎

The issues I found were with the lower hull and the rear panel. These have to be carefully lined up or it can affect the fit with the upper hull. The turret was slightly warped which affected the fit with the turret ring and how it sits on top of the hull. The most annoying issue so far is the fitting of the side skirt brackets to the frame and the frame to the hull. The sprue gates for the brackets are on the mating surface so if you don't file them perfectly flat, they are out of line. And in a complete brain fart on behalf of Tamiya they designed the kit in such a way that if you attach all the tool racks etc on the the right hand side of the hull using the mounting holes, it prevents you attaching the side skirt frame properly, because the tools end up too low on the hull side. In the end I had to break off the jack block and some of the tool clamps to make the frame fit on the side. Not happy!
