MATCHBOX 1979 FREIGHTLINER FLT NO2 BENEDICT & SONS FARMS 1/64

Giving off a touch of the Optimus Prime vibes with this brand new Matchbox 1979 Freightliner FLT American truck. Debuting in the premium Collectors series though i'm sure will filter down to other ranges too, it automatically benefits from a much higher level of detailing and chrome content.
Obviously there is also a high plastic content though the casting itself still appears weighty and substantial.
Mint and boxed.
