Color of model is little bit difference like before, because of daily light. Finally was time working during day. Rest of photos were prepared in evening.
Please have a look on latest photos

You can always counterbalance it with a bit of clay pressed inside the tail or in front of the legs (if it wants to tip backwards) so it stands stably on his own two feet...
We commonly do this with scale flying rockets to correct the center of gravity to the center of pressure for stable rocket flight where one does not want to create oversize fins or "add-on" fins below the rocket to correct the center of pressure (CP) (aerodynamics) to create a stable flight. Similar to gluing a penny inside the front of a p****c model plane to get it to sit on its front landing gear rather than becoming a 'tail dragger'...
