Yes, once assembled and painted the 1/500 scale provides a striking display piece that fits well among other naval models.
Basic modelling tools like sprue cutters, files, fine brushes, and a hobby knife are sufficient; magnification and fine tweezers help with small parts.
Consult wartime photographs, naval reference books, and reputable online archives to match hull colours and deck tones for an authentic finish.
