When the numbered packs stop matching the build order

Pieces required for Belfast's early assembly turn up in later numbered packs, prompting a wider search and sorting of the parts.

Notes

The model becomes difficult to assemble one bag at a time when required components cannot be found in the expected packs. Searches uncover pieces in groups numbered as late as three and five. The discoveries include a component missed earlier and chain links tentatively associated with an anchor. Small and unusual pieces are sorted separately to make them easier to locate. The propeller and shaft parts had already appeared in pack one.
