Yes, at 1/72 scale the model integrates well into airfield or Cold War themed dioramas. Pay attention to undercarriage detail and ground equipment for realism.
Basic tools like sprue cutters, a hobby knife, sanding sticks and fine brushes will do. For a sharper finish, use masking tape and a fine airbrush for paint application.
Small details can be delicate. Remove parts from sprues carefully, dry-fit before gluing and consider strengthening thin items with superglue sparingly.
