Kuba91nt, I'm not sure if you're asking about differences from the actual ship to the model or in the build instructions. If it's the first my answer is, yes there are plenty as ones an actual working ship and the other is just a model. If it's the latter, I would say yes, but I'm just adding together everything I can find and doing the best that I can. As this is my first ship model build I can't really compare but so far I'm quite pleased with everything.
Thanks for the question, I hope this helps.

To what extent was the ship actually adapted for the expedition?
Documentation includes information that the upper deck received additional transverse reinforcement and insulation between it. This is included on the ship's occre, but it's not visible on the wreck.
The same applies to reinforcements, which are not recorded in the documents. It's possible that the workers added additional beams "on their own," without any documentation, which was not uncommon at the time.
I recommend delving deeper into the history of the ship and the falsification of documents by the Admiralty. This was too exclusive an expedition, it had to succeed.
The ship sank, but the documents remained...
