I don't remember how many pieces but for the P40 I proceeded as mentionned below:

- 4 for the wings (I started with a wing bottom, just in case ;-))
- 2 for the fuse (1 each side), you will probably decide to use an additional piece if you want to make it easier with the joins of the fillets and the bottom but don't worry the cloth is so thin that you will barely see the joins. But again it really depends on the shape of your fuse.
- 4 for the elevator
- 2 for the vertical fin
