It’s crazy that the support beam size looks much thinner compare to the kit’s part.
As I progress with the build I noticed that there are a LOT of oversize parts or bad measurements.
There are even point where I start thinking of rebuild some areas.
In the end I just decide to fix a small issue which is very apparent.
Thanks for the tip 
Section of the chimney is done. Please note that the antenna pole was not installed. I dont want it damage.
There are lots of pars that are oversize.
Some of the holes for the parts needs to be re-drill.
Luckily the holes for the fences pole all fits and align properly.
All the cannon hole has been drilled.
This time I just use white base, then trans yellow and dark yellow.
Turns out better than before.
Next I will give it a thin dark brown wash to completely flatten the color. Currently they are semi-gloss.
Fantastic work Ben!! 
Yep, I agree with Tom @Shanghaied : it’s best to replace the plastic kit masts with brass replacements. Not only are they more to scale (thinner) but stronger too, allowing you to tension the rigging.
Also, just as Tom said, don’t check too many references, as they’re often a bottomless pit. Many times contradictory too depending on what time period the photos were taken 
A little bit of masking, and then primed and painted.
Took 2 days to mask, took less than 5 minutes to primed, paint and peeling the masking tape.
Ah, yes, that sounds familiar 
This is easy, just straight lines.
Unlike doing masking for Heinkel HE 111 cockpit. Now that is a nightmare.
It may have taken two days of masking, but it sure was worth the effort.

Some updates here. The front part of the ships upper section is done. Just need light weathering and antenna lines.
There are some issues:
At this moment I have not glued any sections in the pictures. Just in case placing them on the deck required some mods.
Comments and suggestions always welcome.
Nice… It looks like a CAD drawing. Well done.
Very nice and clean work!
Have you tried PE for the railings? Its not that difficult to work with and you can use generic ones just cut it to size. You have such a nice deck, a PE railing would improve the look further.
Cheers
Tom
Looks great, Ben
I too, wonder, have you thought about using PE railings?
Thanks Smith
Thanks for nice words there Tom. I also watch your build, very interesting approach in building this kit.
Also for Tom and @Russelle, as I have said earlier, that this is my firstly build ships. So currently this is going to be just OOTB. I need to learn the technique first on how to build ships. Once I got the basic technique on building ships, adding aftermarket parts such as PE or resin is not a big problem for me.
Thanks again guys and keep those comments/suggestions coming 
Cover the boats with tarpaulins?
Well thats an option, but this is an OOTB build.
I was thinking of filling it either with putty or superglue. Then sand it a bit. For the injection mark which in located in between the plank, same method then use 2~3mm plastic to fix the plank.
I see. OOTB limits the options …
Stay away from the putty and go straight for the bits and pieces of styrene.
Invest in a punch and die set to punch out small styrene disks.
I am usually lucky that the punch sizes match the ejection pins.
Even if you don’t find a perfect match it is still easier to fill and sand a narrow
rim than trying to get the whole circle consistent …
If you are lucky then a piece of sprue might fit into the hole in that seat.
It is typical when building ships OOTB that parts crowd each other. For the sink marks go with Robin’s suggestion, it does make filling them in tight spot much easier.
