                        About 83 if I did my math right.

                        (assumed density of copper ~ 8.92 g/cm^3 and you had 0.177 caliber = 4.5 mm diameter)

                        You might want to consider lead split-shot sinkers instead.

                        For steel BB's it would be 89.  I assume we are dealing with .177.

                        Hey guys, i'm building Hasegawa's P-38J. The instructions say this ol' girl needs 35g of ballast to keep her from dragging her cute little tush. Now, I've used some superglue and COPPER BBs as ballast. What I need to know is approximately how many COPPER BBs it'll take to achieve 35g. Thank you so much!!!
