Hi Paul, congratulations with your kit, you're definitely going to like it. It's a well detailed model, but I noticed the number of deck planks had to be increased considerably to get to the right configuration for Princeton. The rest of the deck details like the slots in the girders are good. Guess what, Pontos had their planking completely correct. Because the girders are then provided in wood as the rest of the deck, you lose some detail in them, but the slots are still there. I just lined the girders with a marker to make them more evident. Another thing to consider is the glue used on the AM decks, it is not sufficient. I used contact glue on the plastic deck, the one you should compress after 10 minutes. If you line the deck edges with that, you can avoid the deck peeling off again. @Rui: thanks, and your emoticon is well received, because the Princeton and the Zuikaku both won a gold medal at Scale World a month ago.
