警察故事續集 – Model 1 Mitsubishi Fuso The Great

1988年上映的《警察故事續集》開場，成龍飾演的警察陳家駒因前作破壞公物被調職為交通警，在高速公路攔下一隊黃色三菱Fuso貨車車隊，三菱商標頻繁出現，算是早期的植入式廣告。這段戲份雖不及前作巴士追逐經典，但貨車整齊排列與成龍揮手攔截的畫面，成為港產動作片的獨特符號。

Model 1在香港車仔展2025首發的1/64 Mitsubishi Fuso The Great 1986版本，正好回應這段集體記憶。三菱Fuso The Great於1983年面世，86年進行首次小改款，分為圓燈與方燈兩種設計。Model 1復刻三款版本:白色圓燈版(T66301)、黃色方燈版(T66302)及橘色1993年版(T66303)。實車搭載6D22直列六缸渦輪增壓引擎，排氣量11,149cc，輸出225至310匹馬力，於1996年被Super Great取代，2001年停產。

想不到Kidult n Kiddo外，還有第二個香港品牌會推出1/64拖頭，雖然價錢唔貴，但仍然有有功課交，膠件頭尾燈、電鍍泵把、側鏡、可前傾駕駛艙、對應日系拖架的掛盤，側氣喉等，車底結構都有還原。不過，網上有指當年拖頭車輪螺絲應為十口非日本的八口螺絲，然而仍無損此車的魅力，畢竟，拖頭比私家車屬於更小眾的市場，希望可以長出長有。

Police Story 2 – Model 1 Mitsubishi Fuso The Great

In the opening sequence of 1988’s Police Story 2, Jackie Chan’s character Ka-Kui is demoted to traffic patrol after the property damage caused in the first film. He stops a convoy of yellow Mitsubishi Fuso trucks on the highway, with the Mitsubishi logo appearing repeatedly throughout the scene—an early example of product placement in Hong Kong cinema. While not as iconic as the first film’s bus chase, the image of neatly aligned trucks and Chan’s traffic-stopping gestures became a distinctive element of Hong Kong action cinema.

Model 1’s 1:64 Mitsubishi Fuso The Great 1986 edition taps directly into this collective memory. The Mitsubishi Fuso The Great debuted in 1983, with its first minor facelift arriving in 1986, available in both round-headlight and square-headlight configurations. Model 1 has released three versions: white round-headlight (T66301), yellow square-headlight (T66302), and orange 1993 edition (T66303). The actual truck featured a 6D22 inline-six turbocharged engine with 11,149cc displacement, producing 225 to 310 horsepower. It was replaced by the Super Great in 1996 and discontinued in 2001.

It’s surprising to see a second Hong Kong brand besides Kidult n Kiddo venture into 1:64 scale trucks. Despite the affordable price point, the attention to detail is commendable: plastic headlights and taillights, chrome-plated fuel tank, side mirrors, tiltable cab, Japanese-style fifth wheel coupling, side exhaust pipes, and detailed undercarriage structure. Online discussions note that Hong Kong trucks of that era typically had ten-lug wheels rather than the Japanese eight-lug configuration, but this minor discrepancy doesn’t diminish the model’s appeal. After all, trucks occupy a more niche market than passenger cars—here’s hoping this segment continues to grow.
