Sorry about the lateness of this reply but I just got back into town and read my mail. One of the best sources for ideas on molding your own materials that I've found is from a guy who makes an sells mold for the Science Fiction and Wargaming set. He has an extensive line of molds for brick, stone and decorative materials many of which are readily useable for modeling dioramas. It's a small one man outfit called Hirst Arts run by Bruce Hirst. On his website he also has large sections devoted to making your own molds and casting methods. He points out that there is no way he can make molds for all of the things that people want nor would it be profitable for him to try. www.hirstarts.com Hope it is useful.

Hei, I haven`t seen any further replies on this, so here is one from me: Does someone remember where in the RAF Museum is the 1 1/2 Strutter replica? I can not find any photos of it in my bag of unscanned photos from the FAA and RAF Museum. Maybe it is in the Bomber Command Hall where I didn`t spend much time during my last visit. If it is possible to get a good view of the cockpit, I am quite sure that I would have tried to get some photos. It will anyway be on my "to be photographed list" next time I go to Hendon. There are a number of Strutter photos from Le Bourget on our web site, but it is impossible to look into the cockpit from the usual walk-ways. Getting good cockpit photos is difficult, you either need to get permission to climb more or less into the aircraft or use a step-ladder or find a position above at a suitable distance and angle. In both cases you need more or less professional quality camera equipment. One way is to allowed into the restoration facility when the aircraft is stripped of fabric, but then many interesting items might have been removed from the cockpit for restoration in other workshops.

We did this today as I felt so bad about ruining the oldest ones kit. Of course they have ot kits and I bought the Revell 1/48th SE5a. Hey for the price ots looks ok to me.
