i dont normally have anything to do with repro,s...........BUT as a origanal is out my league(and more then my life is worth)i am reallt tempted to get a vc jawa as i like how they just stand out in any collection.
i want it to look as much like a origanal as poss so if anyone has any good pictures of one or any advice i would be really grateful

should be same sort of shade as the jawa

outside of the cape should have a slight texture almost skin like

inside should be smooth

hope this helps :wink:

from what i can see it looks very good mate and to be honest i think they are to expensive and over rated at the end of the day its all that extra money for a bloody vinyl cape

, i was bloody lucky with mine and ended up costing me less than a tenner otherwise i would have bought a repro one too

It looks pretty good although I don't know how high the bidding will go. :?

This, however, does depend on which way the cape has been put on :wink:

I hasve a repro and a real one and the repro one is the exact colour as the real one . It just has a different texture. All of the new repro capes seem to have a very good colour so if you are just using it for display then go for a repro.

I know a lot of people do that but personally I don't see the point in spending good money on a fake item.

The more people intentionally buy repro items it will just encourage more to be made IMO !! :wink:

Very true craig, buy a real one, you will only look at the Jawa and the word fake will come into your head everytime.
