SPA Modeler

I happened to read through the model review section in the IPMAS website and I came across this product called Liqiud Gravity by Deluxe Materials. Although I have never heard of this product, but it states it can be found in the UK. Sounds like a great alternative to finding other means for weight on tail sitter aircraft. I clicked on the youtube link on the link provided and saw they use another product called Hot Rocket. to seal in the Liquid Gravity.

For those of you across the great pond, have you used it? What are your thoughts on it?

Never used it personally, but heard positive answers. Alexander Glass from "Uschi van der Rosten" has something similar, he calls it "Three Green":

I still have plenty of birdshot left.... No need for anything else.

I thought about it for my Heinkel salamander bird. Probably steel wire and two holes for the ground and the wheel will help too. Its even cheaper.

I have this Liquid Gravity and used it to get some (unnecessary) weight into the leading edge fuel tanks of my Horten build. The lead is of a very fine grain that easily flows into the smallest gaps or openings, as the sides of a kit cockpit or the open space of a front landing gear bay.

A nice-to-have product. Having poured in one could fix it with a coat of Magic Sculp, super glue, or even wood glue.

I use it for all my models that requires weight in the nose - very easy to use - just put a layer of CA down and pour it on - let it set and then bash off the excess (into a box so you can re-use it) - excellent product.

Sounds like good stuff,price would be a consideration.

Found a picture using this stuff to fill a leading edge fuel tank:


One square of the cutting mat equals 1 centimetre.

Looks a LOT like bird shot...

Is there a warning of do not mix with "Liquid Courage"?
