As Allan mentioned earlier the top of the upper futtocks/top timbers are to large.
Currently, the top of the Bulkheads are at least 6 mm thick. If I add the strips to that (inside and outside), the total width would be at least 9 mm.
According to the scale, the railing may be a maximum of 5 mm wide, including the inner and outer strips. Therefore, I have decided that the tops of the Bulkheads will be sawn off. In their place, I will make a side piece out of 1.5 mm thick plywood. Combined with two strips of 1.5 mm each, this gives 5 mm.
