The construction technique of glass, nomex and vacuum bagging the fuse is very strong and lightwieght. It may be similar in size to others, but it is all original.

G4,
Notice the similarities in this prototype? John mentioned someone out east had one of the last of Julian Reddick's originals (Rick Hamel?). The hatch location and bulkheads appear to be the same! Also notice the wing root area, exhaust nozzles, and even the rough (identical?) seam on the rearmost spine. Personally, I could care less, just wanted to point out an observation...
