Yes, the 1/35 scale matches common figure ranges, so figures and crew can be used to enhance dioramas and realism.
Start with a light primer, then layer base colours with thin coats and add filters, washes and drybrushing to simulate wear and grime typical of wartime use.
Pay attention to axles and cab alignment during test fitting; careful trimming and glue application will ensure correct fit and easier painting later.
