NEW PROJECT - Yamato 1/3000 SDF-1

I got this a few days ago. This is the biggest and priciest kit I've ever bought. I already started working on this kit about 3 days ago and I'll do some catch up on what I've done so far.
First thing I did is to check all the parts. This kit has 20 runners/trees/trays (whatever) and they checked out complete. The parts check took about 2hrs.

Yesterday I started sorting out the screws. This kit is not snap-on or glue-on. It's a kit where you screw in most of the parts and glue in the minor parts. It's got more than a hundred screws. Unfortunately after sorting and checking for hours, I'm missing a few screws from 2 kinds of screws (there are 13 kinds of screws in all). I've contacted the supplier (HLJ) and awaiting their response.
