Smile Gemini 200 A340-300: Tail heavy for stand?

Today I picked up my ordered AF A340-300
However, as I was placing the model in the cabinet, I discovered that it is rather tail heavy when positioned on the stand, and as a consequence the model sits rather tilted. The below pictures illustrate the "resting" difference between an A340-300 and a B777-200. I did bent the metal stand forward to decrease the angle but in vain.

I'm happy as it is (B772 sits solid on the stand) but curious to hear if anybody had the same obervation with this particular model.
