From what I know North Korea received 40 Nanchang A-5 from China.

I don't where this information is from.

But I work decades on the topic about KPAAF and found out with pictures the Su-7 Fitter and the Nanchang FT-6 trainer,

never the Nanchang Q-5.

In lot books and websites they wrote it, but nobody show us a photo.

 

NK - no Nanchang Q-5

But why does the Trumpeter 1/72 scale model include the markings for North Korea airforce Nanchang Q-5 aircraft number "red 602" and the Armycast decals sheet also has markings for the same aircraft together with decals for Chinese,Sudanese,Myanmar and Pakistani aircraft,countries from which it is a proven fact that they fly it?The informations about it must come from somewhere.

In my Trumpeter kit are not North Korean markings:

So I'm not sure which do you have.

 

BTW, in 1989 Hobbycraft of Canada offer a MiG-29 Fulcrum with markings for the Finnish Air Force.

True? Never ever.

 

Lots of books wrote, that the Nanchang Q-5 is in NK service, but nobody shows a picture,

show us a picture and than you are right in all other occasions it is a fake.

Sorry, that is the reality.

Well, but this says nothing.

Trumpeter has often mistakes

look here:

and so I wait for a picture.

BTW, in the book about the Chinese aircraft by Yefim Gordon

(here: https://www.crecy.co.uk/yefim-gordon-d-komissarov)

 

is no word about Nanchang Q-5 in NK service.

Sorry for that.

About the facts,

Wikipedia wrote:

 

 North Korea

Korean People's Air Force received 40 airplanes in 1982.

 

The only source is: 

 "Trade Registers". armstrade.sipri.org. Retrieved 2021-08-11.

 

But the important sentence is this:

 "However, they have never been seen in service nor captured on satellite imagery, and according to statistics from GlobalSecurity.org,"

 

Mistakes in conclusion with the NK forces are normal.

Fkight International wrote on December 1990, the KPAAF has 12 Aero L-39 Albatros trainer - false, no one of these planes

 

Stijn Mitzer and Joost Oliemans had no information in the book 2020,: The armed forces of North Korea. gave no one word about the Nanchang Q-5.

So, sorry, no real picture, a NK Nanchang Q-5 is a fake.
