Nord Aviation CT41 Target Drone wind tunnel model or just model?

[sunset]

I was able to aquire this fantastic wind tunnel model / model of the CT41.

It has a scale size of 1:10 (the original size was 9,79m / model size is 96cm)

My question to all of you (as being much more experienced in this cases) is, if you think it is a real wind tunnel model or "just" a decorative one.
It has two things, that seem to be rest of a kind of sensor. The cables were inside and were cut.

The model is really well executed and the appearence seems to be like other wind tunnel models, that I have seen from that time.
The first flight of the CT41 was 1959.

Maybe someone has a old picture of the real wind tunnel model and or any other documentation.

Thanks a lot for your help!

Thanks a lot for your evaluation!

Is there any idea about the "sensors"?

Never realized before how CT-41 looks like a miniature Avro 730. Pure coincidence of course.

You are absolutely right. I came across the Avro 730 too, while my research.

And there is another one, that I did find.
This experimental model of a supersonic guided missile, that was tested in the NACA wind tunnel.

Hello again to everybody,

does someone have an idea, where to sell this kind of model or where to offer it?

And maybe an estimate of the worth of the model.

Thanks a lot!
