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.
