That's beautiful looking part!

Be sure to seal it with Testors primer - very thin paint, and you will not lose details. If you don't seal it, there is the chance the silicone will stick to the part, it will be a mess to clean up, and you'll have an unusable mold.

This was using Smooth-On Mold Max 40. I don't recall the material that we used for the 3D printed radio faceplate. Just be sure to seal your print and use mold release before pouring the silicone.

safest (and best way) for this to be molded if for the handle to be removed
