Most silicone or RTV molds will last for about 20~30 pulls, mold release agent won't wary this drastically.

A Box to make your mold can be done from a variety of materials Wood, Cardboard, Lego Bricks(I use this method), etc.

You will need to watch out for undercuts of course during the mold making process,some undercuts require a 3 or more part mold.

Can't help with places for shopping for materials though, as I get all my stuff from the local Hobby shop.

im thinking probably a epoxy mould and casting resin for the model
i want the spitfire mould to be reusalbe for up to 15-20 time so i can make a large squadron of them for a super cheap price!! but there is stilll some questions like:
