Molding needs
Is there a need for molding. Fuses, wings, spinners, ect.
I'm thinking of offering this service to mold things poeple may want to make more than once. Very handy if you crash once in a while.
Epoxy glass molds of the highest quality.
I use to have a company (scalecraft) that did this. Didn't need a tax shelter that big. we closed shop in 1995 but have had the knowlege and passion to mold our own stuff. Manly WWII warbirds.
See example of F4U Pic
Questions and comments welcome.

Hi
The one you see here is the old Jemco/Dynaflite/marks model (54")span in the Scalecraft "concept. The "plug" was made in 1994.
The current plugs we work on, as a hobby for our own use, are made of the cheap woods and foams and even masonite, MDF/HDF , also styrene. Since they are not flying models,Structural integrity and wieght are not an issue.
Hope this helps. Any other ?'s please ask.
