Antennas and sensors of Soviet civil aviation Scale 1:144 Metallic Details MDR14416

Metallic Details MDR14416 Resin Set includes 25 antennas and sensor parts for 1/144 civil aviation aircraft builds. The unique focus is scale thickness: small aerials and probes are often molded too thick or omitted in kits, and replacing them can make a clean airliner fuselage look more convincing without adding heavy weathering or extra panels.

This set is intended for civil aircraft subjects in the style referenced by the manufacturer and is listed as a universal upgrade. Use it to add external communication/navigation aerials and sensor points where your kit provides simplified bumps or where you want sharper, separate parts (exact placement depends on the specific aircraft and variant you model).

For modelers: mark antenna locations before painting so you can drill shallow locating holes and keep spacing symmetrical. Install the smallest parts late in the build, after decals and final clear coats, to avoid breakage. If you need a strong bond, use a tiny pin of stretched sprue or wire as a locator and keep glue away from visible surfaces.
