Yes, the kit's proportions and surface detail make it suitable for dioramas. Adding figures, terrain and stowage will increase scene authenticity.
Basic modelling tools such as sprue cutters, fine files, hobby knife and glue are sufficient, though a pin vise and sanding sticks will help with finer work.
Standard olive drab and earth tone paints paired with weathering washes and light salt staining produce convincing Pacific theatre finishes. Test colours on scrap before applying to the model.
