Cockpit items are simplified for 1/72 scale but include basic instrument and seat shapes; clear canopy parts are moulded to fit the fuselage lines.
For most builders the kit provides sufficient detail. Advanced modellers may add resin or photo-etch upgrades for enhanced cockpit or ordnance detail.
Fit is generally good, though small gaps can appear on seams; light filler and sanding will produce the best surface for painting.
1/72 scale suits mixed collections of modern fighters, letting you display several aircraft without taking too much space.
