I squashed some small sinkers & put them in the front wheel bay.
Worked well.... until I attached the missiles, now it's a tail sitter again.

Yep, that's what mine said!?

Finished.
So I'm officially no longer a Group Build virgin. 
I must say I've really enjoyed my time as part of this group build, and I'd like to thank everyone for their encouraging comments.
You guys have really made this the most enjoyable model I've built by far.
THANK YOU!!!
Oh well enough of my babbling, here are the pics;

Good result, well worth the effort. I really like these old Soviet fighters.

Great build Stukaman - are you going to put this in the main gallery? I ended up doing the Vietnamese alternate version after a mass decal failure.
