Looks to be wood and fibreglass construction, and done in record time too. Possibly to stop it getting scrapped or discarded , as well as justifying the existence of an IAF tech centre.

The fact is, it's been rebuilt, and I've no doubt, that as they appear to have rushed it for the cameras, they'll now settle down to a longer rebuild. Must be ringing all over India for bits right now.

Good effort
