Use of Airfix Coastal Defence

Is the Airfix Coastal Defence realistic and if yes what would be a good story for a diorama to employ it? Is it suitable for a D-day diorama?

the 1/72 airfix coastal defense kit

Personally I don't recommend it, think the kit was probably designed by wargames, the canyons and the antiareal gun are useless for a diorama, the bunker, designed to be separated of the base (may be in case of have to have a wragame figth inside the bunker) have very tiny walls.
I still have one of these at home, It was one of my mistakes at the moment of buy a kit.

Worse...

Besides that, notwhitstanding how Airfix commercialized that, the actual design was based on a BRITISH coastal defence site... so, I would think its use for WW2 dioramas is very limited!
