The last four vents on the Boat Deck. I have been dreaming of nothing but vents at night recently - puhhh. All in all there are 21 vents of different sorts scatted on the deck

The chocks for the double-tier lifeboats had to be considerably improved compated to the kit; I also had to strengthen them. Otherwise they were too flimsy for the upper boats

Some research added: the technical term is "davit pedestal", the pics show them in a WRH journal. It is also clear that the bases of the davits are different. Type one is for a double -boat unit, Type two for a double-boat plus inner boat unit so that the davit can swing inboard. If you attach the pedestals make sure that the outer rim of the boat is flush with the boat deck. The lifeboats do not protude the sides.
