Yes. The detailed moulding and included markings make it well suited for display; careful painting and finishing will yield a museum-quality appearance at small scale.
Standard plastic model cement works fine for most joins. For clear parts like the canopy, use minimal solvent or a canopy-safe adhesive to avoid fogging.
The decals are designed to match the included marking options closely. For best results, apply over a smooth gloss base and use decal setting solution to conform them to surface detail.
