which one do you like better?

 

[1970AMX]

I like things on both but I vote JL

 

[Full Flaps!]

I've thought about these two before, in the last week actually. Both are good, but I like the HW's best. The JL has the better tampo detail as usual, but the HW casting is very crisp and just looks right to me. If only it had an opening hood.

I like the JL better, even though I have both.

If it was the Boulevard sitting there, it would have to be that. :thumbsup:

I agree with Kiwi,....The yellow Vega I like but the Blvd I like most....I have the JL version too but on a selling point HW wins in my book.....:thumbsup:

 

[Ricky2400]

I think the HW Vega is more to detail; the JL version is too high up front and the wheel housings off kilter.

The deal is, there are two completely different bases for JLs casting #920 Vega.
The bases were re-cast to lower the stance to a more stock hight (on some releases).
I have a JL Vega...red w/white stripes that's just about perfect.

The HWs is very good, but it can't compete with most JL Vegas imo.

Here's the JL from Ole Doc Wyatt's jlcollector.net site.
MUCH more realistic wheels and tires, tampoes, etc.

that red one is spot on in my book. literally looks like they shrunk a real one.

 

[trev-hw-aus]

my vote is for the hw :tongue:

 

[DIECASTMAN72]

What about throwing the Motormax in? It's a later model but a good one. Between these two, I like both for different reasons.

I never seen one before post them and see the comparision?:thumbsup:

 

[DIECASTMAN72]

Thoughts?

 

[Full Flaps!]

I imagine if Lesney had created a Vega, the Motormax is what it would have looked like.

 

[camaro75]

Hmmm?

Thoughts?

This is a 1974 Vega am guessing?....its tough to say?....

 

[Lummox]

No comparison imo.
First of all, the Motormax Vega is an ugly year, '74-77, somewhere in there.
Though the proportions seem very good, it's lines don't have the crispness of the JL, and obviously it's devoid of any tampoing what-so-ever.

It comes in at a lazy 3rd place without question.
Motormax's allways seem kinda clunky when push them around...just like the real thing, you have to push them, and they're clunky!!! :lol:
