I'm glad to see so many pictures of this build to start with, I hope you continue to do as thorough a job as you have up to this point, impressive, I dont have the patience for it.

I too will be starting a Meister P-47 build as soon as I can get moved into my first house(purchased). Until then I have to salivate and drool on myself waiting. I am also cheating like Doug and using a Fiberglass fuse. Mostly in the interest in saving time but also Dino said I would be very happy with the quality of the latest production run of fuselages. He was not wrong. I understand though, that you would have had to pay a small fortune to ship that over to your location. Good Luck and keep it going! I'm not sure if I want to bother with a thread either, time will tell and maybe some of the guys can convince me to change my mind and fire that old thread back up.
