I am building a giant P-38 Lightning too, not such size but very close. 1/4,28 (23,3%) 3700 mm of winspan. As you can see, nearly twin. From Ziroli plan like you, I drew a new CAD plan from myself with personal solutions. I'd like to share our experience in the project, if you don't mind of course. Just like you, I do not know the final weight, but I expect that will be in 25-30 Kg (55-66 lb) All the stuff is normal 1/8 plywood and 1/8 x 1/4 samba spars. I have already got two 80 cc engines that I hope they could lift the model.

Here you are two pics
Hi Fernando,

Any update on your project?

Looking forward to hearing from you too.
