Yeah. The hull are 2 solid parts.
Here's some better pix of the kit masters from Alfred's site:

For the money, I think it's worth it. But if it's not available, what's the point?
I believe Fantastic Plastic may one day produce a 1:72 scale one. (IIRC, Allen was one of the handful of people that actually recieved one of these Landmasters from MiM.) It'll probably by very nice too. But I do like the larger scale and detailed interior Alfred put together for MiM (not that I'd give them any of my money). As for the flexible section, I think anyone can just cut that part out and use some kind of doped fabric to make it look like the movie miniature.
