Why this kit matters

The CAC CA-25 Winjeel was developed in Australia by the Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation as a basic trainer for the Royal Australian Air Force. Introduced in the early 1950s, it was designed to replace older training aircraft and provide a stable platform for pilot instruction.

The Winjeel remained in service for decades, used for pilot training, forward air control, and light utility roles. Its long service life reflects its reliable design and importance in shaping generations of Australian military pilots.

How to use it

Build using paint, glue, and modelling tools such as sprue cutters, sanding sticks, and fine brushes. Once complete, display as part of a RAAF or post-war trainer aircraft collection.
