Are you referring to plastic railing as shipped in the kit or photo-etch brass railings? Strongly recommend purchase photo-etch railing if painting the model. If retaining the plastic railings, I take it you are saying there is not enough railing for the kit? If so, then some sprues are missing. Please clarify.
Regarding the funnels. Let me respond in another post. I will look at an older kit I have to see what they look like. Need a day to respond.
Do not worry about accurized this or that. Only the rivet counter will note and either builds into a beautiful model. You can shave the x off the doors and use a wedge to align the forecastle deck. The only other issues are some window placements.
Can you post a pic. of these funnel side by side to see what is what. I suppose they all have rake?
