I just finished the Revell/Novo 1/72 version but this looks a much better kit. And it's a pleasure following your build so far. Re: the undercarriage the Revell instructions didn't seem to understand how on earth they went together but the older Novo ones seemed to look more like yours do. I'm tempted to have another go with this kit coz I really like this unusual looking plane. Looking forward to the next update. Robert

Hate to be a doom and gloom but if you do a quick search on the Revell p-47n you'll find a lot of folk complaining that it's a right pig to build and that there are real problems with the design - for example the wings should have a dihedral but instead are modeled completely flat. Also the undercarriage is prone to being snapped because you have to construct it as part of the wing early in the build. Don't get me wrong some guys have done amazing things with the kit, but they all complained about the amount of cutting, filling and sanding that was required to get it right.
