Are you putting sheeting over the studs first?

#1, What's your location? Yes it does matter, EG; no way in CA.
By doing it that way the wall would have no shear strength. Need at a minimum to have OSB or Plywood in the outside corners.
Someone could just walk up and with one kick bust the wall out.
If you do not have a real siding nail gun bet your going to breaking some pieces trying to nail it..
