And I know that the consensus is that there are inaccuracies. What kind of minor things can be done to make the model more accurate with out going all gonzo on it? Like adding details here and there?
I think I will finish it as Red 5.

Nice, I've been building one (for way too long now). I've done quite a bit of modding to it to make it more accurate/presentable. I'd definitely recommend remaking the guns in metal, the plastic ones suck. There are some under wing details that I added and really like, but you'll only see them if the S-foils are in the open position. Check out my thread, maybe it'll give you some ideas.

I fixed the "dip" in the bottom fuselage. Also made the front of the engines a little bigger and used some brass for the laser cannons. And if you got an MPC kit the pilot will need a lot of attention. But over all a pretty good model. Just check the hull for warpage.
