Molding 1/540 Aircraft
Does anyone have experience making molds of aircraft for carriers? I have a couple of Revell 1/540 carriers and I would like to mold the aircraft that came with them since getting more can be either expensive or problematic. At least with the molds I can do an entire airwing if I wanted. I am guessing that it would need to be a 2-part mold so that the wings and such would come out of the mold w/o breaking. My questions would be what do you use for the mold and where do you get the materials from?
