First post, review of Ruifeng commercial vehicle model, appreciate its majestic appearance

Time flies, the sun and the moon fly by. A quarter of 2020 has passed. This year symbolizes the end of the second decade of the 21st century and the beginning of the third decade. Looking forward to the automobile market, earth-shaking changes have taken place in the past 20 years. At the beginning of the 21st century, more people realized their car dreams, and at that time, Laosan was still popular all over the country. At the same time, there are also many new talents entering people's field of vision. For example, the Mazda 323 has become the favorite car of a generation of young people. Buick New Century and Accord sixth-generation Passat B5 are advancing hand in hand, entering the market of middle-aged people with successful careers. . However, while others were busy building cars, JAC Motors discovered the niche market at that time, commercial vehicles. It is worth mentioning that the commercial vehicle market at that time only had the GL8 and the high-end Jinbei. You may ask, aren’t commercial vehicles very popular in the Chinese market? They have “yellow worms” in the front and Delica (big steel teeth) in the rear. But I think they are just vans, not commercial vehicles. And I think only Jinbei Ge Ruisi is a commercial vehicle of Jinbei Motors. The positioning of commercial vehicles is naturally higher than that of vans. Today’s protagonist is the 2002 Hyundai JAC Ruifeng commercial vehicle. Some friends are puzzled. Ruifengs all over the street are used to pull goods, and why do they say that they are Hyundai, when they are obviously Jianghuai. Oh, I have to say this. As early as 2001, JAC Motors cooperated with South Korea's Hyundai Motor to introduce the Hyundai H1 Starex, based on Mitsubishi's then-new Delica, into the oasis-like automobile market in China. Is it a messy relationship? But when it comes to China, there is no chaos. Hyundai H1 Starex has become Ruifeng, and Mitsubishi Delica has become Dongfeng Fengxing. As for the current situation, it seems that Lao Ruifeng is still on sale, but I specifically asked the dealer in Beijing and they told me that it has been discontinued in Beijing. However, the visibility of Lao Ruifeng commercial vehicles is still very impressive in Beijing. "Take a step and see three" is a perfect fit for Lao Ruifeng commercial vehicles. As for Dongfeng, it is still updating the Delica from the early 21st century. It's just that the appearance has changed from one generation to the next. Now the front face of the latest generation actually borrows from the overseas version of the Crown Sports model, and it loses the temperament of the same car 20 years ago.

Reifeng commercial vehicle model is here!

As for the front part of the car, although this generation of Ruifeng is not fashionable, the model friends in our team unanimously believe that it is much better than the current JAC’s exaggerated design!

The accuracy of this model is quite good, and it vividly restores the taste of the old car from 20 years ago. But there are some problems with the details. The background color of the rear logo at that time was the car color, but the model had a blue background.

The model restores the short-axle luxury version, which is the top model. But we also found several details: the left and right front doors of the 2002 Refine business car top model were decorated with blue-tinted posts, but the model was not restored; and the front logo of the first batch of top models at that time was the Hyundai H logo, and the model It’s Jianghuai JAC

As for me, I have a certain auspiciousness. I have used one of the first batch of Ruifengs for a long time at home, which was introduced from South Korea in the form of CKD. A 2002 car, used until 2012. Since I was born in 2005 when Ruifeng was at home, I can only tell you that Ruifeng left a big impression on me at that time. I still remember that car at that time had many highlights: First of all, there was a blue sticker on the front door (it was not changed later). Open the door and enter the interior. When you look up, two huge sunroofs appear in front of you. And at that time, I had learned that the Refine also had front and rear dual air conditioners, 360-degree rotating middle row seats, automatic transmission, original roof wings and other advanced configurations of the year. And it was a 2.4 rear-wheel drive car. Although the horsepower was not large, you could feel that the "heart" drove the whole car without difficulty. But back then, the top-end Refeng was priced at 200,00, which is the price of a GL8 today. Having said that, I can definitely tell you that the 2002 top-spec Refeng is a vehicle worth the money! ?So is the model good value for money? I remember that there are three versions of this generation Ruifeng model: the 1:43 second-generation version, the 1:24 top version, and the 1:18 mid-range version. I was lucky enough to pick up a champagne gold 1:24 Refeng business car model. So let’s explain it today. The same car model of the same color now sells for close to 1,000 yuan, which is indeed expensive, and it is still 1:24. Let’s take a look below!

The front fender must be criticized. The sheet metal is too poor and obviously uneven.

The wheels are nice and the color is accurate.

I can tell you that the brake disc can be vaguely seen on this car model, but it seems that there are no calipers. But after all, this is 1:24, and the wheel hub is only 15 inches, so it is understandable that the calipers cannot be made.

Also, his wheel hub is a two-piece front and rear piece, and the rear piece of the left front wheel hub has been glued.

The lamp cup is restored to its ordinary state. There are clear halogen bulbs, but there is no restored texture, which shouldn't be the case. The fog lights are rougher and may not even be considered "dead fish eyes". Just added a transparent piece to the silver piece.

The air intake is not hollow, but it is accurate in shape and the chrome plating is used just right.

The dog legs, the dog legs of an almost 20-year-old car can still support the ground pretty well. But the real car needs a strut to support the short hood. Most cars at that time had a strut.

The engine is independent, praise! It's just that the color separation isn't realistic enough. It would be perfect if you could outline the details.

The air outlet of the bumper is hollowed out and has a honeycomb pattern. This detail is touching! The problem is that the early Ruifeng car logo should be Hyundai, not JAC. Is it possible that the model is not a modern license?

The swivel seat is novel, but it is not recommended to play around like this. The old car model may lose its temper one day.

The flocked carpet and the steps on the real car are also reflected on the model. The texture of the seats is still okay, but I remember that all configurations of the 2002 Refeng were fabric seats, not the leather seats of the model.

The center console is very inferior. Although the instrument panel is restored in place, the buttons on the control panel are not detailed, and the air outlets are just a few patches of black paint. Why is there a Hyundai logo on the steering wheel and a JAC logo on the front air intake? [Question][Crazy]

I didn’t receive the silver-gray body model. After all, that is Ruifeng’s signature color, but this champagne gold color is also relatively shiny. Although it cannot be used as a mirror, it is still very close to the real car. of paint. And the hand buckle should be plastic black.

The dog legs of the trunk can also support it and are very strong [win].

This is the logo. Logically speaking, it should be restored to the same background color as the real car, not blue.

The mark is not a single-cut film. Why can the 1:24GL8 of the same era be able to make a single-cut film but you can't? !

The rear light cup is not exquisite, but it is more accurate in color separation. The lines of the skirt are also restored to life by the model! [Strong]

Double sunroofs were a major selling point of Ruifeng at the time. The texture model of the luggage rack has also been made.

The gear handle and handbrake are relatively rough and could definitely be more detailed.

The A-pillar and door frame are not wrapped, the door panel is relatively rough, and the door handle is not detailed.

The chassis is made of metal, has a good texture, and is well restored. There is also a removable spare tire. The restoration of the suspension is remarkable and very refined. Good review of the chassis!

The front end of the car is attractive, not exaggerated or fashionable but has charm.

In the top view, the model shows all the lines.

The heating wire on the rear windshield is a bit thick and distorted.

The quality of this model is very worthy of recognition. There is no bulge or increase in height, which is slightly better than the GL8 of the same proportion at the same time.

Love? Skyline model friend’s evaluation: This car is still relatively rare. Although it is 24, the workmanship is still good at that time. The second row of seats can rotate 360 ??degrees to increase playability. , JAC Ruifeng introduced the Hyundai H1 model, which is still on sale today. It is also an MPV that entered China relatively early. I have built this car once and it left a deep impression on me. I took this car when I went to Qinghai. Still very good! ?HamKing (model owner)?Full score of 10 points for each item?Appearance restoration: 7 (car logo problem)?Interior accuracy: 5 (not detailed enough)?Working materials: 8 (metallic texture, but with dog legs)?Yes Playability: 8 (the seat rotates, but the sunroof cannot move)? Value for money: 3 (The current price is about 900 RMB. Unless you have a lucky charm, like me, don’t buy it. It’s not worth it. But you can try your luck. Maybe you can occasionally come across cheap bulk trucks)? Average: 6.2 (Recommendation level: average)

If you are a lucky person and cannot receive the out-of-print old models of 24 and 18 scale, you will receive one. It is also the best choice to re-modify Taiwan's new model.

I would like to thank all those who have contributed to my family.

Special thanks to @京PDN221, @LoveSkyline, @Turbo_kai and @yubingyang? and other model friends!
