One problem I can see with these railings is the lack of upward-curved railings for the bow section. Without the curve you might as well forget putting the railings on, as you'll need to cut each railing section at the bottom to curve them to fit the deck sheer. As far as I know only Gold Medal Models has the correctly shaped forward railing sections available ( maybe WEM, too- I forget!).
