Hello all.

I am currently building an Osprey(which I happen to win on one of the giveaways) and the instruction says to add a 43 gram weight in the nose. Do I just use like lead fishing weights and superglue them in the nose? I am a bit confused.

Thanks!

I have seen people on youtube using BB's either steel or copper! Hope that helps! :cool:

That is just one way, Richard is correct with the BB's. Anything that you can stuff into the model and won't be seen will work.

I use something called liquid gravity, which is essentially just very tiny balls of lead ballast. You have to really cram them in though. Not that I'm trying to solicit views, here, but I do have a video on my channel of the Italeri 1/48-scale Osprey where I show how I tried to cram it all in (around the 4-minute mark) :)(y)

Thank you. That is the exact model I am working on when I came across this. I'll take a look!
