a) Superglue or epoxy adhesive - superglue by far the best option, go fo medium or thick consistency
b) As above
c) Not necessarily, automotive primer is ideal but Tamiya primer just as good
d) Always avoid glueing pained parts of body together unless you want to ruin hours of work and like your models to look shit. In the case of the Fujimi Veilside R33, the bodykit requires alot of tidying up and a certain amount of putty work to get it looking presentable. You really have no choice but to attach the bodykit first before any paint is applied.
