Default Ziroli Spitfire CG problem--a little help please

Hey guys I sure could use some help on setting up the CG on my Ziroli Spit. I have invested almost two years in the build and it looks great. Problem is it is calling for over 10 pounds of weight in the nose. I can't jam that much weight into it. I used latex paint on it and I may have used 1.5 oz.cloth in all the fiberglass work which I guess is causing the problem. Any ideas would be most welcome. I am thinking the only way out is to build another fuselage. Has anybody else had this problem? I even made a spinner backplate from 1/4" steel plate and that still did not help much. I have a Taurus 4.4 engine in it.

Many thanks,
Chuck
