Looking great so far!
You use a similar technique to that I've used in making r/c model wings, in that you've cut and sanded all the wing ribs together.  First I've heard about shuffling them around to keep them even though!
I'm just wondering if you couldn't wrap the wings in tissue paper, then shrink the paper by soaking it in water.  That would give you the rib detail naturally.
You would have to build up a small area around each of the mounts for the struts and rigging such that they match the height of the ribs.  That way, you could punch holes in the tissue and not have to worry about it tearing.

Just a comment on the fit or otherwise of the nose....
On the real deal, no two are alike.  There are gaps of all shapes and sizes around the cowl, some fitting almost perfectly, others (mine, for example) with massive gaps!

You can get airfoil types from here.  The P-51 B/C/D used the exact same airfoil, ie the NAA/NACA 45-100, other Mustangs such as the V and VI used the NACA 66-(1.8)15.5 at the root and the NACA 66-(1.8)12 at the tip.  What those numbers mean is beyond me except that they're something to do with chord vs max thickness.

That is incredible.
