Very nice progress, mon ami!
Good morning Tobias. What they all say. Lovely repair. Cheers Grant
@pianoforte @Steef66 @Jimsky @GrantTyler thank you for your comments and interest. Also to everyone else who left a like.
Just a small update with an attempt to implement what is shown in the plans.

Excellent fix.
Beautifully done, it looks very clean and impressive, Tobias, chapeau.
That’s looking very nice, Tobias. Especially with a 'just on time' adjustment according to 'the plan'. The arc gives a beautiful contrasting accent.
Regards, Peter
@dockattner @HHIG @Charlie1805 @AnobiumPunctatum @pianoforte @Peter Voogt @Mirek Thank you for your encouragement.
Now the window recesses need to be adjusted as they slope too steeply outwards. I don't have much time left though, and to make matters worse the windows need to be adjusted or completely rebuilt. Another lesson for the future! As the upper deck beams are already installed it will be almost impossible to make them moveable.

Really impressive Tobias. I always learn something from your excellent build.
@RogerD Thank you, I'm glad if it inspires you.
Revision of the windows, here I have adjusted the lower part.
The windows also had to be replaced; unfortunately, they can no longer be opened; I would have to remove the upper beams to attach the hinges.
The left window still needs some adjustment, the bars are still too thick. The nameplate was only attached provisionally, I definitely need to change something here. About the name: Le Saint-Louis is one of 23 sister ships of Le Rochefort, identical to Le Rochefort.

The muntons are angled?
Wygląda na to że Tobiasz robi okna pod kątem , tak to wygląda na zdjęciach Pawle. Tobiaszu fajnie wygląda twoja rufa. Pozdrawiam Mirek
It looks like Tobiasz is making windows at an angle, that's what it looks like in the photos, Paweł. Tobiasz, your stern looks great. Best regards, Mirek

Paul and Mirek, unfortunately it is not clear from the plans, it is my own interpretation. I would like to add a small drawing. The blue frame would only rest on the corners and I did not like the look of that and it was not logical. That is why I decided on the red frame, whether this is correct or not I cannot say.
I originally wanted to cut the rungs in half, but I didn't quite dare to do it because the wood is very brittle.
The red one looks logical, Tobias. No problem with you AL-FI.
Regards, Peter
I chose to make the window frame oversize for height and then beveled the top and bottom to fit the opening (by hand). My light divides were applied on top of a mica sheet to both the inner and outer faces (a sandwich approach) - to the extent it is noticeable, then, mine are perpendicular to the glass rather than parallel to the frame. For that aspect I like your method better.
But I'm not sure if there would have been wood divides on both the inside and outside faces in real life. I assumed so... but maybe not. I guess most everyone only applies the glass/mica/plastic on the inner face as you will be doing.
