Yes smoke cartridges are acceptable as long as the device remains attached to the model.

Subject: AMA Safety codes clarifications
Hello,
My name is Vo Decker, AMA 117021. I was wondering what the AMA had in the codes for smoke cartridges affixed to the airplanes? I see that Hobby Lobby and Tower has smoke cartridges made for them, but I wanted to see what the AMA's stance on these are, and if they violate policy coverage or not? I have a giant scale Staudacher I'm almost done with, and would love to put these on my wingtips, but don't want to violate any policy in doing so. Please advise.
Sincerely,
Vo Decker
