I can ensure you those who rated this poorly had no idea about how to build a scale model properly. No matter how many models they said they have made or how bad the quality they thought it was, this is one of the best kits Tamiya had ever put out if you ask people in the game.
Just have some basic understanding of Tamiya’s way of doing things before you complain about things like not having an engine. This is the most accurate and cleanest copy of the timeless Z-tune R34 body you can get among all 1/24 brands, and they’ve included enough extra parts for you to have fun with, and even use as a donor for another R34 projects.
The engine in the Z-tune is a non-standard RB with an increased displacement of 2.8 liter plus a whole bunch of rare factory modifications made specific to the car and it wasn’t something for Tamiya to get full detail and then create a dedicated molding for at the time and push it to the market at a reasonable price.
I customized the color using Tamiya’s Mica Blue as the base to get the “Bay Side Blue” color found on the actual car. The display is custom built using Premium Hobby 1/24 acrylic display. I would highly recommend the photo etched detail set Tamiya sold separately for this kit.
So just set back, get the exterior details right, and you will be pleased. Photos show the final product that I sold for $500+, and I am starting my second one in pearl white with custom aeros.

I received this kit with the tape already cut and no plastic wrap on it. It appears as though it's complete but I won't know until I put it together.
