I went to the meet at Falkirk today and it was pretty poor not much to be had. Thanfully I didn't come away empty handed and picked up these 4 Superfasts for 50p each.

Thanks Jason, It's another sunfade. I am building up a nice wee collection of Sunfade wildcats now, thats me got 4 at the last count!!! A very common sunfade and strangely one that i have seen buyers pay large sums of cash for on Ebay.

Hello Alex, I think we had a 'Sunfade' thread somewhere, probably in the 'Lounge', maybe you can have a picture of a good and Sunfaded 'Wildcat' picture in there! its always nice for reference purposes to see to what extent colours do fade

If you have already posted a picture like that, I do appologise for not looking for it before typing this here...

Perhaps we should encourage everybody to post images of their sunfaded Matchbox models as it might make an interesting thread.

I will post a line up of mine when i get the chance as i know the others i have are in storage at my Dads house ( i have run out of room here).

I think you started one in the rw section Ghosty

Thanks Reg, sort of remember something along those lines, I'll have a search for it.

I have a couple of mint badly sunfaded models that i wont sell, i like them anyway and they are useful to remember lessons of how paint fades

Arrived this morning.

A lovely SF#3 Monteverdi Hai with very dark blue glass (i have been looking for one of these dark blue glazed examples for a while), and a very HTF SF#44 Boss Mustang Cobra with extremely rare 5 spoke front wheels (usually maltese cross).

Here is a few comparison pics to see the difference between the dark blue and light blue glazing on the SF#3 Montiverdi Hai. The dark blue looks amazing IMHO
