Yes, its 1:350 dimensions are intended to complement carrier and cruiser models, allowing realistic deck placement.
Painting is recommended to bring out the details; use reference photos for correct greys and insignia, and consider washes to highlight panel lines.
Rotor blades and small aerials are fine and need careful handling during assembly and painting. Thin CA glue and gentle support during drying reduce the risk of warping.
