You'll also need lots of weight in front.

I added 16 nuts in front and its not enough .

try some weights in the engine nacelles. I got a packet of shotgun pellets from the local gun shop - had to convince them I was not a terrorist. The pellets pour nicely into small spaces. Add wood glue to prevent glue marks in the plastic.  Maybe pour some pellets onto your nuts and bolts.

Yeah, I built the glider version and it was very tail heavy. Good luck. Looking forward to seeing the guns etc.

I've used tire balancing weights ... also musket balls and black powder slugs.  Once, when even that wasn't enough, I extended the nose so I had more room for weight ... fortunately, in that unique case (my P-76), it 'worked' - the nose looked OK.  Here's the link, if you want to see (pic 3).

We've got an angling shop locally . I'll  pop down and see if any of the weights might do.
