Yes, fine monofilament or specialised micro-rigging thread can be used to represent bracing wires, but work slowly to avoid damaging small fittings.
Due to the kits niche scale, most builders rely on careful painting and weathering rather than extensive aftermarket parts, though small detail sets may be found from specialist suppliers.
Keep the model away from direct sunlight and dusty areas, use a closed cabinet if possible, and consider a light protective clear coat to guard decals and paintwork.
