Purpose and Historical Accuracy

Static dischargers used on Sukhoi military aircraft (Su-17, Su-22, Su-24, Su-27, Su-30 and others) are small but essential structural components responsible for dispersing electrostatic charges that accumulate during flight. They were employed on Soviet and Russian combat aircraft from the Cold War era up to the present day. This technology increases electronics safety and improves avionics performance.

Where were they used?

Sukhoi jets from the Su-17/Su-22 and Su-27/Su-30 families served in the air forces of the USSR and many other Warsaw Pact countries and allied states worldwide. They were used multiple times during armed conflicts from the late 1970s to the present, including Afghanistan, Syria, and Russian Federation military operations.

Product Advantages and Recommendations

The Master AM-48-088 set is easy to install – simply cut off the original plastic part and drill a hole, then glue in the metal detail using cyanoacrylate adhesive. The precise brass craftsmanship ensures greater durability than the plastic originals and delivers a more realistic appearance in 1:48 scale. The product is especially recommended for intermediate and advanced modelers looking to enhance their models’ quality – perfect for dioramas, competition entries, or for collectors who care about detail fidelity.

Assembly difficulty level: 2/5 – easy assembly using basic modeling tools.
