You have to get Rhode Island Reds to get up to 4lbs.  Our white leghorns would only make 2-2 1/2 lbs when cleaned and plucked.Smile

Too bad lead bird shot is no longer available - I mix epoxy putty into it to make form fitting weights that can be fit into any sort of nook or cranny.  Don't forget locations like under the coaming ahead of the IP and inside the side consoles.  I had read some stories where CA glue caused lead shot to expand, and I can confirm that it does happen.  Epoxy putty is benign and causes no problems.

I use tungsten weights now and just glue them in place with a little blob of epoxy.  They're a good way to get a lot of weight in the smallest possible package.  Tungsten putty is also a good way to give model wheel chocks some weight.

I use the same technique, except with BBs.  I'm building the old Monogram Constellation, and I used Aves A&B mixed with BBs to fill the nose to just aft to the forward boarding door.  I even stuck a little bit into the nose cone (probably overkill).  It works well.

Baron,

Aves is great - like freshly chewed gum.  Much easier on the fingers compared to Milliput.
