Decals are waterslides, and though I've not much experience with them, I'll say that they're stiff.
Soaking each one in water for a minute leaves no issue getting it off the paper and on the kit solidly (though I did use Micro Set to help keep them on),
but if you're going for full marking you'll definitely want to grab some Micro Sol as well: I had to use tiny scissors to cut an extra nub off that console decal in order for it to sit flat within its nook.
The cockpit/head is nice, but heavily clamshelled.
The canopy comes pre-painted which is a nice touch, and there is a sliding gimmick with the sensor camera to give the canopy room to open/hold the canopy closed.
The side consoles are separate pieces, which lets MF show some more detail on the inside.
The pilot figure is supposed to be glued to the seat though, so I said nuts to that, glued a small peg in the hole in his back, and drilled/carved a slot in the seat to hold the peg.
... I went just a little too wide with it so he's still a bit loose in there.
