Sharunas, your analysis of railings makes a lot of sense. They either have to be excellent or they are a visual distraction. A model of this quality deserves the best
Before laser ones were available I would often remove the card model printed railings to get a cleaner look.

Yes Herky, let the railing type would be a choice of modeler .

For this purpose I shall revise railings parts, make black contours on white background instead of white on black.

Before i'm leaving on weekend, here's a pictures of a finished test-model:













I want to say big thanks to:
dear colleague-modeler Alan (aka Herky) who introduced me with this great ship and always supported this build,
to Krzychu74 for some advises,
and all the others who followed this thread!!!

As the test model is finished, the only major work is left - the model issue itself. It wouldn't appear soon (as I'm quite bussy on summer) but I hope to produce one by the end of first half of autumn...
