  1. Obviously a couple of different variations of the type - check out the difference in tail in picture 3, which features an all-flying tail exactly like the 701, compared to the fat-ass fin and rudder of the other 3 pics.  Also full flaperons rather than the internal flaps/ailerons of the others.

  2. There's not much to it when you look at how he's done it.  Underside of the fuselage pod is triangular section, those tail booms (which look like boxy air intakes but actually separate from the fuse pod) appear to be almost 2-dimensional, ie very thin.  I'd almost be tempted to call that wing "swept back" rather than delta (despite the straight TE) as it's got a reasonable span vs chord.  The front strakes appear to be flat too.

    Willing to bet it's mostly out of thin aluminium, 0.016" or 0.020" at the max.
