Anyone Recognize This Fuselage?

[Ric Duley]

While cleaning out a remote corner of my workshop I came across this fiberglass fuselage. Not only don't I know what plane it's from but I don't even know where I got it! :o :confused:

Can anyone provide any input? It's 46" long and actually a nice fuse.

Fuselage?? I thought it was a boat... :o) Sorry I could not resist...Brian

Brian,
If you think THAT one is big, wait 'till you see the other one I found.....47" long and MUCH wider than the first one.
I think this one is a boat. Heading for eBay today......

Ric,

those fuses are nice! I like the second one best. why don't you offer them up in the for sale forum first..someone is bound to bite.

WHen I saw the second pic I was thinking of how it would make an awesome camera platform with some big bagged wings...you made me daydream during bio class ;)

Godspeed and see you on the flipside,
Ray

The first one looks like a Foka, built in the early '60s by the Polish company SZD.
