Yes, applying suitable paints and finishing techniques significantly improves realism. The kit does not include paint, so plan colours and masking before starting.
Use gentle sanding, a light primer and thin washes to enhance panel lines without filling them. Avoid heavy filler work unless seams require it.
Many builders display 1/72 jets with gear down for a hangar or static scene. Check the kit instructions for gear options and ensure careful painting of wheel wells and struts.
Consult reputable scale modelling references, official photos and decal suppliers for accurate schemes. Reference images help with correct colours and stencils.
