hummmm first kit and a warbird was recommended ??
I just looked at the manual for the TF giant P-47 and it really is not a plane you should tackle for a first time build.
I did not see the original thread where you got the 60 size P47 recomendation but it seems like the overwhelming majority of recommendations would have been for something simpler to get your feet wet with.
I guess if you have your heart set on it go for it, but I would recommend something along the lines of a Four Star, or a Rapture, or a Super Sportster.
Good luck.
