Many aftermarket resin and photoetch upgrades are available for 1/72 fighters; check product descriptions for compatibility and scale before purchasing to ensure a good fit.
Use a fine hobby blade or scribing tool to enhance panel lines, and apply washes and subtle drybrushing to bring out surface detail. Thin layers of paint and gradual weathering give the most realistic effect.
