Gloster Meteor

I made the 1/72 scale Meteor, way back in the 1970s. It looked good, but had one flaw. If it was not mounted, on the stand, when it was 'parked', just on the wheels, it always tilted back, onto the rear of the fuselage, leaving the front of the aircraft, in the air.

At the time, I came up with a simple solution, which I'd like to pass on.

Once the fuselage has been assembled, fill the front with shot, purchase at your local angling shop, (anything else, isn't heavy enough)

Once you have enough, to keep the model level, pour in PVA glue, to hold in place. Then, if set the aircraft nose down ( suspend, of possible) until the PVA has set.

Hope that is of some use, to anyone considering making the Meteor, for the first time.
