Decals are standard paper transfers; sealing them with a gloss then a flat clear coat will improve longevity and help them settle over panel lines.
Yes, the 1/72 scale is popular for dioramas. The compact size makes it easy to create a small scene featuring ground crew, airfield details, or a simple display base.
Liquid polystyrene cement and CA glue are commonly used. Liquid cement gives clean seams for plastic-to-plastic joins, while CA is useful for small or stressed attachments.
