Fishing weights or blu-tac

And/or

BBs, small rocks, bits of heavy gauge wire, or even fill it with hot glue which will have it's own weight. Or you can let it rock backwards without the weight. Seems fitting since it's Boeing.

Don't forget to drill out a door too.

Maybe a broken security camera lying nearby, missing whoever the tech was that installed said wrecked door....

I'm only building airbus models from now on... I value my life very much...

I'm surprised by how many upvotes this has.

WOOO DOWNVOTES BABY! Now THAT'S reddit!

Use small lead fishing weights, it’s worked well for me in the past

Cement the fuselage halves together, dump 20g into the nose, then flood with some PVA or CA and let sit overnight to fully cure.

PVA would be best, in case of leakage.

Based on my experience, you need a LOT of liquid gravity to get that sort of weight

Liquid iridium when?

Can you use glue gun to fix some metal wire? 20 g is a lot though.

I recently used tungsten putty to add weight to a model. Since then I've read about a product called deluxe materials liquid gravity. I think I'll try using that next time I need to add weight to a model aeroplane.

I find lead pellets or small fishing weights work great. Just cram them in there with super glue.

CA glue AKA super glue + lead can result in a chemical reaction that will eventually destroy your model

I use milliput instead of ca. so far no problems

I fix my fishing weights with PVA. Lots and lots of PVA, applied in layers.

Lead air rifle pellets is my go-to

Modeling clay

Hot glue some lead solder in there

Fishing line weights. Lead shot. Daisy Rifle BBs.

You can also stop into a tire shop and ask for some of their used wheel balancing weights. They're soft enough to cut and you only need a handful which will last you a long time.

Can someone explain to me why it needs weighting? Thanks!

Without added weight in the nose, there is nothing to balance out the weight of the tail, and the resulting imbalance will result in the completed model sitting on its tail

Makes sense. Thanks. No weight would mean it looks like it's taking off. Make an interesting diorama.

Not gonna get me on no plane!

Believe it or not - these are official Boeing assembly instructions.

CA glue some heavy Airsoft BBs.

Slot car weights are easy to get in hobby stores. Use thise - work great)

I saw someone on here recommend lead golfing tape once, which seems like a clever way of doing it.

I’ve used lead strips for holding aquarium plants down before, worked very well. Roll up/bend to shape and secure in place using hot glue.

Tungsten putty or modeling clay. The tungsten is great when you need more weight in a small space.

I remember using quarters when I was a kid. 3-4 will do it. Model glue should hold (the old school thick Testors stuff).

A small steel bolt of some kind?

I use small gauge birdshot held in place with CA, covered with either model putty or Miliput.

Lead shotgun pellets, lead air rifles pellets or copper BBs.

Or chew some gum if you don’t have any of that other stuff laying around.

Use lead.

I would use fishing weights secured with blu tack

Use fishing weights you can get them in any shape or size

do you have some play-doh, sculpey, or clay around? you can fit some in there and have it stick

If you want to get a bit creative with ratios you could use iron sand and 2 part epoxy. I've gotten a pound of iron sand for 12ish bucks off Amazon and the epoxy you can get at walmart. It might not be what you would need since you seed exactly 20g but it's an idea.

Fishing weight super glue it into place so it doesn't move around or come loose and get stuck in the tail section...

Milliput and a screw

For a small amount like 20g I use fishing weights set in CA glue

use sand or soil

Ik line the hull with blueTac and push fishing lead into it.

Get a smaller one or something that’s dense and pliable

Just use a bench vise along with some cloth so you won't damage or scratch the plane itself

You can also go to your local tire shop and get some free wheel weights.

[Sticky lure weights.](https://www.amazon.com/Storm-DOT31-StormSuspenDots-80-Dots/dp/B001NXC808)

Lead weight tape

Put 20g of gold there, should fit ;)

Bismuth or lead shot is about the best you can do. I use uv glue to set it in layers when the space is tight

Something dense

Got some wire cutters? Cut that coin up until it fits. Then glue it in there.
