Got about 90% of the side parts on. Just little things to go on after painting. Test fitted one of the elevators. It's not glued in place yet. It won't be till after painting when I can take the masking off the deck.

Got the elevators attached permanently. They were not easy to get to sit flush with the deck.

That's really looking good
March as one, Don't look back
Odin's sons... Attack!
Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall

LOL! That rocks man! Now put it in the hands of a 1/35th scale guy so he'll look like he's showing off his latest forklift model!
