Vietnam FAC Winjeel

[K5054NZ]

Hi all!

Please find attached some photos of my model of a CAC CA-25 Winjeel trainer, used for FAC missions in Vietnam. This scheme is currently worn by VH-WNJ owned by Les Beehan, Victoria. I hope you enjoy it .







It has a place of honour on my DVD/bookshelf in my lounge:


Kit is the Matchbox 1:72 Provost with an Airfix Beaufighter cowl and Academy T-6G prop, along with a fair amount of surgery to make it slightly resemble the much-loved "Ginweel". The type was discussed for Vietnam FAC but never actually made it to southeast Asia, instead being used as an RAAF trainer

Good to know the kits made it to you safely. 
Can you build them any faster???

  Thanks Sequoia! I aim to please.

Haha thanks Tony - I have in the past! This baby was ready for paint about two days after I received it, but I waited until yesterday to get it done. Needed to decide on a scheme. Not *exactly* a Winjeel, but close enough for my liking....can't really justify the High Planes short-run CA-25 kit, so bashing an MB kit is fine!
