Wrong Raven. Looking for the UK version under the Skylark project umbrella. Again, I am not so sure that the flight vehicle was called Raven or the motor series, I have seen both references.

The Raven was the sustainer motor (or only motor in single stage versions) of the Skylark sounding rocket. The Cuckoo and Goldfinch were different booster motors - my two-stage model depicts a version with the Goldfinch. (Actually it depicts the Skylark 12 seen here which was apparently a three-stager, but I can't figure out where the second stage is, and anyway the model is heavy enough with enough nose weight to balance just one booster!)

Hey, I like that. But does it have a conical nosecone? From this picture, it doesn't look so (but could be the perspective of the picture).

Yes, conical nose cone.

The actual name is the MGM-29 Sergeant

Looks like a Power-series in this picture, but may be close enough...

Currently the two front runners are the MGM-29 Sergeant and the Brazilian Sonda IIB sounding rocket.

Consider the "Hawk Motor Test Vehicle", as seen in Peter Always' excellent book, "Scale Bash".
It looks "totally bitchin' " as the kids used to say.

I had one using the Estes BT-55 11 degree conical......it was a good flyer & good looking......lost it doing a wind test for a TARC team. I'm planning a bigger replacement.

The Space Launch - Up Aerospace, is a georgeous Blue anodized conical nose cone...
I would love to have a TRUE SCALE 4" version.......

That is a nice looking rocket.

I've pretty much decided on a 2/3rds scale Sonda-2B sounding rocket though.
