Yes, but mask the canopy before painting to protect clear parts. Test-fit after the main paint stage and glue carefully to avoid fogging.
The kit includes 'TopGun' decals, but modellers may adapt other squadron markings using aftermarket decal sheets for variety.
Add contrast painting, seat harnesses and fine dry-brushing to bring out instrument panels and moulded detail for a convincing cockpit at 1/72 scale.
