Metal V-8 Engine Model

Has anyone seen or purchased this model? Seems like an unusual price, and that probably tells the story. But I find it peppered in many websites.

I looked at the pictures you posted, and I says to meself "that looks like Adam Savage holding that model" and sure enough, here's a video of him screwin' it together.

I can't vouch for the quality of the video, 30 minutes of Adam Savage is far, far too much, but if you have an interest, it might be of use to you.

Absolute scan... I bought one, thinking even if it was crap, it would be a fun project. It's a solid hunk of plastic, poorly detailed, with no moving parts whatsoever.
I found out after the fact that ganyihag is a scam company.

I have one coming today. If it isn’t metal and it isn’t metal, Credit Card Co will reverse the transaction. It really doesn’t take much effort to get them to investigate. Photos of what you bought and photos of what you got.

As far as Adam Savage, he should sue or be sued for not suing them. HaHa

I got the lump of plastic. Refund or Charge back in work. I’m guessing at this point, my credit card takes it in the shorts with the charge back. Can there be that many people who buy and don’t follow up with a dispute?
