Looks like an interesting project. Hope they can pull it off.

I saw this at Millington last year when we were on site at the B-17 Co-op meeting. It was really unimpressive when I saw it... looked like it hadn't been worked on in quite a while (see the smiley face drawn in the dust). The line guy didn't know much about it, so we assumed that it was going to be static as the aluminum looked to be only "lawn chair" grade at best. Had I known it was a mold for a fiberglass shell, I would have looked at it differently. It looks as though they have done a bit more since last October when I took the picture.

Similar to a fulls-cale (but all-composites) Spitfire replica built by Osvaldo Durana in Argentina.

In your photo it looks like they were thinking of an E or similar model. The latest work looks like they've decided on the N model.
