Yes, when assembled and finished with care the model presents well and fits neatly into aviation collections focused on WWII aircraft.
Standard plastic model cement works for most joins; use cyanoacrylate for small or load-bearing parts if extra strength is required.
Apply subtle washes and light chipping to panels that see wear; build up effects gradually to avoid overdoing the finish on a small scale model.
