FLYING BUG Superfast Matchbox 1972 Burgundy 1:64 Made in England

Flying Bug from the Superfast series by Matchbox is a diecast model of compact dimensions, made from a metal casting with plastic details. The main colour is metallic burgundy, with visible yellow details and grey windows, creating a contrasting effect. The model is based on a metal baseplate with stamped markings: MATCHBOX SUPERFAST No 11 FLYING BUG MADE IN ENGLAND 1972 LESNEY PRODUCTS. The interior contains a plastic driver figure. The distinctive yellow jets and rear wing emphasise the vehicle's aviation character. The wheels are typical of the Superfast series; paint rubs and minor traces of corrosion are visible on the baseplate, adding authenticity. The whole model captures the atmosphere of the 1970s, combining precise workmanship with a lightly patinated metallic sheen. The model is approximately 85 mm long, making it a practical yet decorative addition to any diecast model collection.

Used, collectible diecast model; after restoration it is like new (without a box, unless a box is shown in the photos). We restore models with 3D-printed replacements for missing parts and special paints made for restoring model cars. If the model shows signs of use, it has been intentionally left partly unrestored to keep its individual vintage character. The photos show the actual condition of the model.

The date given in the title or description is not always the date the casting was made. It may refer to the design of the model, the first casting series or the production of the real car. We give the dates the manufacturer states on the base. If in doubt, check all information against the photo of the base of the model.
