Inside the fuse it was the same story as the wing and stab....Good quality wood, perfect glue joints and carbon fiber. Check out that thick carbon fiber doubler at the fin TE. The fuse feels very sturdy and you can handle it with firm hands with no fear of damaging anything. I recall punching my thumb through the top of one of my F-4 fuselages just trying to turn it over. None of that flimsy glass on this bird!
