This is more a PSA for those who might be considering buying one of these following models.
Be warned, the model you will get is not the model pictured.
The model you will get is sold without permission of the designer.
I came across this seller on ebay.com that sells (obviously pirated) paper models.
...although he appears to have stores on many international ebay sites.
He sells paper model kits, but hes one of these guys that actually sells you printed models on A4 card (not just a PDF file).
huacong89 is his identity
and its states his location as "GUANGDONG, China"
just note, seems a lot of Chinese sellers use this location. maybe its a generic location for pirates to use?
Now this kit (IXS Enterprise) must be Murphy's kit (pirated).
(since I know of no other IXS Enterprise model, it must be Murphy's)

I've posted a link to the ebay listing, since:
a. ebay itself isn't a pirate site
b. this guy's stores and listings are easy to find.
I am trying to determine this guy's identity...if anyone knows him?
Funny thing is, the photos of the built IXS Enterprise model are not Murphy's model.
They are my photos, from the custom build I did back in 2017/2018.
You'll be severely disappointed to find there are a considerable number of major differences between the two models.
They are quite literally two different models.
And my model was never published or shared with anyone.
I built one for a private commission.
I tried to contact ebay about reporting the photos, but I don't have a .com account.
And I shuttered my .ca account.
And they've made it more difficult to report Intellectual Property theft without having an ebay and VERO account.
