Static Discharger (type 1) Exterior Details (3D-Printed) Scale 1:48 Metallic Details MDR4891 - For Aircraft Model Kit

Metallic Details MDR4891 is a 3D-printed exterior detailing set of static dischargers (type 1) in 1/48. Static wicks are small parts placed along trailing edges, and they can be added to wing and tail edges on a finished model.

The set contains 20 static dischargers. This is an upgrade set only (the aircraft model kit is not included). Placement is universal and depends on the aircraft type and your kit’s trailing edge thickness.

Static dischargers are typically installed on wing and tail trailing edges and sometimes on control surfaces. Exact locations and counts vary by aircraft, so treat the final layout as subject- and reference-dependent.

For modelers: install static dischargers near the end of the build, after decals and most clear coats are done, to reduce handling damage. Drill or mark tiny locating points along the trailing edge, keeping spacing consistent left-to-right. Paint them after installation with thin coats, or pre-paint and touch up once attached.

FAQ

How many static dischargers are included?

The set contains 20 pieces.

Where should static dischargers be placed on the model?

They are usually placed along trailing edges of wings and tail surfaces, but exact locations and counts vary by aircraft. Use your subject references and mirror placement left-to-right.

When is the best time to add them?

Add them late in the build, after most handling is finished. This reduces the risk of damage to the parts during painting and decaling steps.
