That’s what I use to, and it works great.
I also use, lead from waterplants, which you get with waterplants for your aquarium.

We got quite strict weaponlaws in Norway as well, so i use leadballs for shotguns. buy them in weight at a sportshop. mix the right amont with gel type cyano. and spoons it to place.[:D][:D]
personally I use solder, just coil up enough to fill the space and glue it in. i need my sinkers for fishing!
After last Saturday I’m not talking to Joe , but for the rest of you…I don’t like to put any weights in my nose wheelers. I much prefer to find way to prop up the tail or drag down the nose. This prevents “undercart sag” and cuts down the weight of the model.

I think I am going to have that problem with my p-38, by the time that I have put enough weight in it the gear will collapse!
This comes not only from the weigth needed but also from the weigth that I have put in wrong (ineffective) places, such as next to the gear, where thwere is no leverage.
For those kits where there is no room for weights try using solder.
I buy it at the 5 and dime and due to teh size it fits anywhere. Wrap it around the cocpit or glue lengths along the fuselage. Works well. I have also used lead wheel balancing weights with great success. they are free at the tire store and can be cut with pliers.
If it fits…use it![8]
