Finishing and Display Suggestions

Spend time on paint and decal application for the best results, using reference images to match tones and insignia. Completed, the model sits well in a display case or alongside other modern fighters.

The cockpit includes basic instrument and seat detail suitable for 1/72; modellers wanting extra realism sometimes add aftermarket seats or instrument decals.
Decals are printed for the kit's contours; using decal setting solutions and a gentle coat of gloss before application will help them adhere over curves and panel lines.
Yes, the scale and subject make it suitable for carrier deck scenes. Consider adding tie-downs, catwalk details, or crew figures to enhance the diorama.
