Can I add small aircraft to the carrier deck?

You can add small aircraft figures if you have compatible 1/800 scale planes; check parts lists for available models and use tweezers for precise placement.

Does the kit include clear display parts?

The kit focuses on solid plastic components; clear parts are minimal or not included, so consider a separate display stand for presentation.

Are decals easy to apply at this scale?

Decals at 1/800 require careful handling and softening solution for a smooth finish; work on a flat surface and use small scissors or a sharp hobby knife to trim them.
