Some paint sloshed on. H.B. would have you paint the deck dark sea grey, same as the rest of the dark colour.
I thought it would be more realistic to make it look as though the wood deck were covered in a dark stain which became common practice after the outbreak of WW2.
Just some railings and bits and bobs to go on. Don't think I'll use the kit brass, there's no bottom run on the railings so each stanchion will need to be glued individually, bad idea.
Just out of interest, there's a cutaway drawing which explains how it all works. You should be able to blow it up to read the legends.
