Advice Please --nose weight 1/48 Italeri AC-130A Gunship

In building aircraft I use BB's held in place with Elmer's type glue.

I think it says "g - 75" which would be 2.64 ounces

That's a weird one.  9.75 grams doesn't seem like enough weight, but maybe it would be.  A 75 gram weight, OTOH, would be pretty big...big enough to where it probably wouldn't fit in that space.  If you're to the stage where you can temporarily close up the fuselage and throw the wings and stuff on for a mock-up, you can put a pen or something under where the main gear will be and see how much weight it needs to keep it solidly on its nose and not tipping backward.  But, that's kind of a PITA.  I would just pack as much tungsten putty into the nose as you can get in there and call it good.  There's really nothing that's readily available to us hobbyists that's going to be more dense than tungsten.  Love the stuff.  As long as it's not an RC plane, you can never have too much forward CG.    

Hobby Lobby carries lead stips for weights in their pinebox derby area of models.  Densor than BBs and reasonably easy ti cut/shape.

Hi:

 In every C-130 I have built I have had to put nose weights in it. Even The other 'C" models required it. B,Bs in white glue is the answer

Thank's for everyone's great advice.  I'll try Eaglecash'suggestion. I'll tape the model together and add weight to the nose until the nose drops down. I tried this technique on my B-29 and it worked pretty good. The B-29 was a real tail-sitter and needed a lot of weight in the nose.
