Default Which P-47 Do I have?

Hey guys, I bought a fuse and wing along with the canopy frame and I was told it was a Yellow Aircraft P-47. The fuse fits the description, the bulkhead where the tailwheel goes looks right, the wingtip nav light recess areas look right, the elevators and ailerons are counterbalanced, BUT! The wing is composite and not foam core! The wingspan is 80 inches. I looked at the Robart, The CARF and the CJM but the wingspans on those are all greater than the YA Jug. So, the question is...did YA make a composite wing version of this plane or do I need to keep searching for what manufacturers Jug this is, The wing has molded in panel lines, integral belly pan and seamless integrated wheel wells. Thanks and your thoughts are appreciated. Lastly if any of you have the YA manual for this plane and would be willing to send me a copy that would be most appreciated.
