Not really 242g of Soviets

I say not really as the PSC ISUs have been filled with ballast.  Instead of weighing just 14g, they weigh 37g each.  The KV2s are a massive 84g each.  Using a heated blade I sliced open the tanks belly and a a number of sessions slowly filled it with PVA glue, railway ballast (thanks Richard!) and metal scrap.


I had considered putting on some decals, but nah.  Couldn't find a good reference and certainly didn't feel like the hassle.
