Building Tamiya’s 1/350 scale modern New Jersey, I wanted to add weight to lower its center of gravity and make it more stable. Rather than purchase a bunch of fishing weights, if you are friendly with your local mechanic you can ask for old wheel balancing weights. I used plastic epoxy to glue a half pound or so in the hull. Easy and nearly free! (Remember, most of them are lead, so wear gloves to handle them.)
