Not balanced models: a real tragedy!

[Charter]

Hi to all. In my opinion worst than broken landing gears there is the problem of not balanced models, sitting on the back. It is frustrating because there is no solution, even trying to move backward and downward the main landing gear, trying not to broke them.
Do you have solution for this problem? Here some examples, Delta Air Lines B767-400 and Delta Air Lines Saab 340.
Please help!

Some blu tack or putty-type substance might help?

Doesn't just happen with GJ. Phoenix A380's are well known for this.

I’d suggest getting some kinda sticky putty and putting a small pall under the front tires like av456 mentioned. I’m sure a little goes a long way and you might be able to find a black/grey color to blend in easily. It’s a shame but I have a few early gen 737s from gemini that are a tad tail heavy at the slightest gust of wind. thankfully none that fully can’t sit the right way but i’ll try not to jinx myself for the future lol

try using double sided tape it works well for some of my tailheavy ones, otherwise i use this black tack putty thing i found in my house.

Unfortunately this problem happens also for B747 and A380 mainly, while Herpa 1:500 produced too many models without a balance ("Herpa, attention to details!")

Maybe removing the nose gear of the Saab and making it shorter by sanding it down would help, but I know this might be quite tricky to do.
That 767, my goodness... better sell it and grab the Panda version instead

That SAAB is really disappointing because that’s a really good little mold and a highly sought after model. As the for 767-400, I avoid this model for that exact reason in addition to the poor mold. My Delta Ron Allen does the same thing.

This is good advice ^

The SAAB looks like in tail strike mode
