Awww, shucks. I plan on having that enlarged to a 16x20 print if you would like one,.

Do you think these weights will be enough? Maybe more could be glued to the front end of the tunnel above the front bomb bay?

I did glue more in the tunnel and have some LG coming (today, I hope) to put in the tires. I sure hope it is enough. Not actually closed up yet.

I found in cases where ALOT of weight is needed a shotgun slug works really well( not fired at the model that is). It's very easy to pound flat and glue almost anywhere

Yeah, but 20-40 at a time is a bit much. We happen to have a "scenic drive" .....Pickup trucks, too. Some days, you can't enjoy the deck.
