The Anchor Way set me a few problems as regards its geometry. A lot of modellers I found when Googling tend to build up this area to a bulbous shape. I am not convinced that this is correct. If you look at the first two photos, to me there is no deviation from the hull plate plane. I may be wrong but that's what I am going for, so the last two photos show the results. Dragon have obviously got the position of the port holes wrong as they are too high.

I wanted to investigate what impact the 1mm error Dragon made regarding deck lengths had on the superstructure, so I made up the basic first level of the three superstructure sections.
The first section Detail 13 on the plans had a few points to note.
For Item N28 read N28+N30
For Item N30 read N30+N31
Be careful of your assembly sequence, K3 has to slip into the tapered sections of K22+K25 and K23+K26
I like to drill out the port holes as I did with the hull.
There are four doors, to fit the kit comes with the option of plastic or brass, I chose brass as the detail is better. But the doorway is hollowed out so a I used a very small amount of blue tack to hold the brass in position whilst I apply thin CA.

This photo shows the first level of all three superstructures in position.

This photo shows an error on the kit where the margin rail has been missed out, and I have used some
Evergreen to replace it.

I found it easier to lose the 1mm deck length error between the forward and mid-section of the superstructure, I had to trim the semi-circular deck sections just forward of the pencil. Bear in mind I am using a wooden deck so it is an easy matter to hide the mismatch.
