Hunting Jet Provost T3/5

ok 99% done,

just got to make it shine.

hi guys,

very close now, just need to know if 1FTS Linton Gin carried the badge of 1FTS or RAF Linton on the nose, none of the images i have are clear enought to make it out.

absolutely perfect,

thank you.

Is this ok for the XS186 profile sagindragin?

chris,
you are asking for a smack in the gob, just get the walkround done ready for when these are finished:D

It’s a pity you haven’t done the prop version, would be nice to see them together!:diablo:

Yep, no problem , just need to dig out an image, i’ll post over the weekend when i get a minute.

Many thanks.

Paul

yep,

silver/dayglow, grey dayglow, grey solid dayglow, red white grey, silver yellow, and anymore i can find, up’s nearly forgot the camouflaged one.

do you have a close of the emblem!

How about this scheme sagindragin?

hi guys,

i am getting close to it being finished, so all those who want a profile of the T3 OR T4 send your port side images and let me know if you want how they look now or when in service, also give me a quick run down of the writing you want to go with it, any badges or emblem to be included with posible close up of them,
you have my email addy.

next up will be the T5

no problem Neil,

look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks for the answers about the blue, any confirmed info would be appreciated, also does anyone know what blue it is (ie BS number, shade)? It looks to be lighter than the roundel blue.

edit, on second look it appears exactly like roundel ble, so will go with that!

While I don’t have the answer (to post #7), I’m not totally convinced by the proffered answer (post #13). As I recall, towards the end all the 6 FTS Finningley Jet Provost T.5Bs and for a period all the 4 FTS Hawk T.1s had the attractive blue top applied to the red/white training scheme. Neither unit had aerobatic teams, although performed flypasts at base Battle of Britain/At Homes displays. While the JP T5s were retired from service, the Valley Hawks later became air defence pale grey and more recently the current gloss black overall. Don’t recall the blue top on other red/white training scheme types though eg Chipmunk, Bulldog, Tucano, Varsity, Jetstream or Dominie. Although having typed that, think the Tucano fleet may well have gained blue tops, not certain without access to my photo collection.

BTW i believe the blue spine on the JP5 was put on the display JPs as a cheaper display scheme

Hi Sagindragin

We would love one of our aircraft JP T Mk3A XM479 if you wouldn’t mind?
I will drop you an email as well

Regards
Neil

cheers mate,

very clear nice photos, will definitely be doing the T5 next.

Hi Sagindragin, belated email sent!

thanks tony,
that answered a lot of questions.

opp’s,

definitely a typo or old age:D

pagen,
i did not plan on doing the T5 but if you insist i just might:D the stencil detail for the T5 is different to the 3/4 but saying that the 3/4 varied all over the place.

Your title says T3/5, guessing that is a typo then?:o
Would be very grateful for one of XW325 though:)

On a related subject, does anyone know why some JPs got the blue top, were they COs’ aircraft?
