Haven't seen them up close, but I'd say that they are decent quality, considering what I've seen.

I'm positive that's it. Revell SBC v8 with a hand crank and looks exactly like the pic on Amazon. It works as advertised and went together easy enough, but it does require a bit of work with a knife to get it to move smoothly due to the rough edges on things like the pistons. I'm not an expert model builder so mine isn't perfect (the head come off the block a bit when I turn it over- I'm impatient with epoxy) but it's still cool dust collector.
