1. It's a Tamiya kit so it's very good

2.I haven't built it but the parts dry-fit nicely

3.Yes, but it's only made up from about 5 or so parts and the bottom of it is molded to the chassis.

4.I think they're synthetic rubber

Aoshima has a bunch of different versions that are very nice but they don't have an engine.

The Tamiya engine is not molded to the chassis, I had a little trouble with the body to the chassis on fitting. I have not completed it yet because I lost my zeal to finish it lol. The paint messed up and was too runny.
