Thanks guys!
Eventually finished outer skin! This part was twice harder than inner one, though i had power structure to glue it on. After a lot of thinking i decided to glue parts separately. So, first of all i cut all the parts and folded-glued all curved ones. This gave me some picture how will it sit on top. Then i started from gluing upper part, because i could position it by openings. After that glued right side - rear and then front. I used white glue, because it softens paper and i could smooth out all petals in curved corners. I did not painted edges to give it more tight fit. Finished with right side and moved to left. Frond edge was hardest part to fit... When i done with big part a glued remining small rear one and finished with lower rear parts. They also were glued separately. Took my water colors and gently brushed-wiped places where some white edges popped up. I can't say it all went perfectly but i satisfied with the result done by one shot. I defiantly have no mental strength to do it again more accurate If you ask where is number 12?! Well, i decided to assemble polish version, so i stick to all parts that marked with it and they had clean turret with no numbers on it.

That is some tidy, skilful work - I can see why you would not want to do it more than once.
