How detailed is the cockpit area at this scale?

At 1:350 scale cockpit detail is simplified, but the kit preserves the main cockpit shape and external fittings to convey the overall appearance accurately.

Will this fit into a 1:350 fleet display?

Yes, the small footprint and matching scale make it easy to incorporate into a larger 1:350 naval scene alongside ships and other aircraft.

Is painting required to achieve museum quality?

Careful painting and fine brushes will improve the result; pre-shading and thin washes can enhance panel lines and surface texture at this small scale.
