SPA Modeler

I need something to "pour" into crevases, openings, etc. on the B-29. Your thoughts?

If you have to fill very complex shaped volumes it's a good way to go. But on the other hand there is fishing lead in all grain sizes you can think of. Cheap and easy to get. A drop of wax on top to avoid a rattling model and there you go.

I am about out of lead weights and do need to make a run. I have a very large jar of BB shot and have been using that. The last thing I want is to get it closed up and still have a tail sitter. I guess I can tape it together and see.

Go to Wally world and get a box of steel B.B.s

That is where I got what I have. Had to buy a jug of them. Still trying to fit them in places.

Liquid Gravity is made of very small balls of lead. If you have a cavity you can pour them in through a small opening. Filled up you only have to close this opening. But be sure that this is the only (!) opening to prevent the material to get out into your build...

Uschi´s stuff is more like a lead paste. Smear it in and close it in.

I use Liquid Gravity so far.

I used lead birdshot and gel super glue for the same sort of problem. Then the trick is coming up with creative places to put the stuff such as inside the nose wheel halves and in compartments forward of the main landing gear to move the weight forward of the center of gravity at the main wheels.

Yeah, that is what I'm doing, Stik. Thomas, that is my problem in getting the LG stuff.....you have to glue it in place.

Where is the problem? I just used it on the front landing wheel of the ZM Do 335. Filled the wheel half up with Liquid Gravity and sealed it drop by drop with super glue. Easy!

I agree, with a sealed area. Who knows. I may break down and get some.
