I start installing the railings from the center of the ship and work toward the out side. This helps (but doesn't always prevent) railings which have been installed from being damaged. On small scale models like this one I like to use white glue to attach the railings. Super glue is good but is very unforgiving of errors. White glue allows time to get the position right and if necessary, the glue can be removed with water and tried again. A needle , mounted in a dowel, is the tool I use to apply a small amount of white glue to the deck edge. When installing PE railings, i also try to keep the number of bends to two. I've found that trying to make one long length of railing with many bends in it usually results in fit problems. Better to use smaller lengths with one or two bends.
