Looking good, glad you found the covers. My kit was shorted the Eagle bow decoration and the steering wheel. Looking forward to seeing how your customizing turns out.

Yes I have just noted that my ships wheel is missing, the wheel I used was from my stockpile. Eagle bow decoration ???
 
The instructions on page 21 call it a eagle figure and to paint it gold, then install. It was made of cast metal and required a bit of sanding to get rid of the flash. Hope you got that piece. I am wondering if both the eagle and the steering wheel were to be package together and maybe someone forgot to put that package in some of the kits.
 
Central structure progressing, I intend to put lights inside the structure but I have found with the thinner woods, the light shines through. this may not be a problem when covered by paper but to be sure, I have painted the insides of the thinner woods black

Well I have emailed ModelExpo about the missing parts, Let us see what they do, This happened previousely with the Endurance and the Company quietley sent me the replacement parts (no Charge)
 
Now I am doing the fiddley bits that need a steady hand (which I do not have). still progressing slowly. I am about to attach the outside walls with a contact glue & I am not sure how that is going to go. I should also say that the hatch cover at the rear is not really a hatch cover but a switch to turn the wheel motors on and off. Pess once - they operate, press again -they stop (I hope)

I have installed the steering Mechanism & checked it out - It works, I will remove the rudder for the time being because history has shown it is easy to damage during future handling. The Mechanism is fixed permanently
