What Materials to Use to Make Model Plane Parts?
September 15th, 2009 | 
Author: Question:
I’m interested in turning out small quantities of model plane parts ( missiles, bombs, nose spinners, wheels, pilots etc..) that will be using a sample machined/finished in pine wood ( or similar)…. These items will range from very small to about 5 cm x 2 cm.
Can you advise me on what product would be best for me to have a go at it? The moulded items might be precoloured and/or hand painted afterwards.
Thank you
Answer:
Use CraftSil silicone for the mould and CraftCast polyurethane resin for casting into the mould for the finished part and you will get perfect parts that can be painted, sanded drilled etc. We have some information in our web site Tech Tips on this subject and will be releasing a kit later this year.
Craftsil Can be found in our store by clicking here
CraftCast can be found by clicking here
All the best,

Many small plastic parts are made by using silicone moulds and then casting quick setting polurethane resin into these moulds to perfectly reproduce the originals. A video on making toy soldiers using this method can be seen in Tech Tips on http://www.aldax.com.au Stan Alderson
