Its not a replica - I can say for sure. it probably has the actual fuselage and wings.
The following are known for sure.
-As paul said, it was in Cochin for years before it was moved here in Jan 03. An officer at the recent 50years celberation event of INAS Garuda confirmed this personally to us
-the aircraft was being worked for some time - i have been hearing about it for two years at least
-Someone (an Indian) approached the Western Naval Command from Canada to buy it. But was rejected for obvious reasons.
