yep, it takes a LOT of weight in the nose. I filled mine with BBs or something, doused it in CA and then watched the sidewall of the nose melt somewhat. Had to sand it out, fill with putty and well, you know.

That’s where I’m at. Not even trying any weight. Barrel or a clear tail stand.

Gonna work great!

I've seen alot of pics of real Tigercats that had to be propped up by crates and barrels. I guess they were notorious tail sitters
