They all have a cardboard ring at the bottom of their trouser legs with pennies taped to the bottom edge for weight.

I remember my 1st Sgt in Germany doing that, he also had a piece of card board for his soft cap, and stacked his rank on his lapels.

Hah! British National Servicemen were known for using lengths of motorcycle chain to get the same effect within their fairly substantial 1949 Pat Battle Dress trousers.

Howdy friends and neighbors in this neck of the woods!
The butt-packs that Tamiya added to their M4 Tank, Full-Tracked, Gun 75 MM from the end of the 1980-ties are realy nice und easy to improve them. Army
An other approach - Academy’s M113s have two or three of the butt-packs on the sprues. They look as newly issued by a Quartermaster’s depot. As the Tamiya ones are more “crumplet”.
Sorry Hauke, I’ve only just caught up with this; thanks for the tip. I will probably make my own for my M60 project (running alongside far too many other projects), but nice to know that such items are around.
Many thanks.
