If you want to play it safe, then buy the plans for the KR2S, and build bulkhead male formers to the fuselage shape, then connect them with 1x1 stringers of cheap pine, and cover with Lastofoam 1/2 inch thick. Use the same Glass that is called out in the wings, I believe 5/8oz BID and cover the foam after appropriate treatment prep. The micro slurry is to fill the porous surface of the foam, so as to make for full contact of the glass, not to create the contact. Anything added to the epoxy/hardener mix is referred to as a reinforcement, whether it be cotton flox, micro, or the glass itself. I would still bond in the four lengthwise longerons for strength, but otherwise you are good to go. Check out the Vision webpage for additional ideas, support for this type of construction applied to the KR. Then continue the plans as normal.
