£30. Too good to be true? These look ace but I am convinced I wouldn’t get it working!

If you pay by CC you could take a punt and if it doesn't arrive, claim your money back.

Fake as a fake thing on fake day.

Look them up on amazon too. Some flashy photos but then a few obvious plastic crap.

Thought as much! I was intrigued by the assembly video mainly as to whether it would work!

The real one seems to be £2K !

This is what you would actually get



One piece moulded resin 'model' of an engine.

Just saw one of these pop up on FB, looked great on the vid, but no way can that be £30.

Dropped into PH and wasn't surprised to find a thread on it.

Apart from the price, I'm struggling to see any weasel words for when you don't get what's advertised. Pretty blatant censored
