Sounds like much of interiot detail not be visible when complete, is optional or possible to omit particular parts?

Most interior is not that visible through the windows so interior decorating is not that needed, but if you want to you can.

Do i need to buy paint for this model?

Model required assembly and painting, glue and paints are not included.

should i get this 1:72 scale one or the 1:48 scale one.

I cannot answer this question because it asks something that cannot be answered!!! Obviously the bigger model will have more detail and naturally you end up with a larger finished product. All my 55 models have been 1:72 scale, but I have a 1:32 model of my favourite aircraft a P51D Mustang to build sometime. It was a gift...
