Many of the bigger parts are slide molded and do not require much assembly... thus this is the result after about 10minutes of unpacking, cutting and dryfitting it all together

Finished the basic parts of the superstructure. As the parts were slidemolded, there were no real issues with alignment. Note that Iused black glue

Stabilizers, screws and shafts were glued in place on the lower hull

The bow area is full of rockets, radomes and stuff

PE doors and ladders bring some nice additional detail around the mid section

The main radar has its two main parts tilted slightly aginst each other, making it look rather interesting

nice build, and it's fun to know she has ever visited Germany, I have seen her in person as well since she harbors around my town.
