Ron Provost are not in my area of knowledge but a quick search on the internet came up with this "The T.5 was different from the earlier T.4 with a pressurised cockpit, re-designed windscreen, sliding canopy, longer nose and new wings."

This will cut your options down, as the Airfix or Matchbox T5/Stike Master will need too much work as the cockpits and canopies are the wrong shape :frown:

CMR do a T4 in resin with the markings you are after (try this link) or Airfix did make a very old T3 that might still be available.

A nice new early JP from Airfix would not go a miss to go together with their Gnat and Vampire trainers.

Regards Splash
