Jullian Junior real or dummy?

Centurion,

I think you could be right. There is certainly something draped over the front half of the tank that ends at the rear of the sponson. The question now is "What tank is it"?

Tanks3's question first: What type of tank? A Mk IV. It's got the roof stores box and�no rear cupola.

Centurion's question: Real or no? Definitely no. The cab is a square box with no slope to the rear, there's no silencer, the roof box is too far to the rear, there's no roof hatch, the rivets are painted on, and the sponson sits too low as well as having no thickness to its roof.�The tracks appear to be very smooth, with no joints between the plates. There is also the detail of the tank panels visible on the tarp. If it's a tarp covering the tank, why paint details on it?

It's a good dummy and really looks the part, but it is just a dummy.
