I am aware that this thread may go offtopic now but I cant hold it...

Since these resin cars have been cast it is possible to use them as a master for a new mold, right? Take one of those cars an make a new silicon mold. Now take that car and remove material from the outside (much easier!) - except the window glass. Lets say about 1.5mm or 2mm. Leave the windows untouched. Once done you can use the (now smaller) car as a core in your mold and you will get a hollow car with now windows (well some flash will be there, but now much) when you pour this mold.
