Planking is laser processing with very high accuracy
According to the feedback received by Hailing, we will provide 1:48 printing drawings for customers to print

Very interesting development again 
About the deck planking, you need to make sure that all three parts are from the same sheet of wood, have the same color! The color difference is very unpleasing. It's the same problem with the hoy.
And I again like to remind, that the knee is double tapered from aft to forward as well as from below upward right. It would be nice to have this in mind for the figure
cheers

Yes we will try to solve the deck issue, we used box wood in the pilot model, and turns out we can't solve the colour issue. We decided to use pear wood later on, the issue would be mitigated a bit that way. There might still be small colour differences, we will try to pick the sheets during production.Very interesting development again

Greetings, Victor. Great progress on deck beams. The question that brought my attention was on the main deck. Does the deck come as a single sheet or multiple? The reason is I can see two distinct colors on board and starboard. Hope this is not the case and is just a visual impression (light shadow)
Looking very good
One small hint refering the capstan:
The Pandora had a double capstan which was possible to work with on both decks -
so also on the lower deck there should be the recesses for the pins (marked with black on your photo)
Looking at the plans I was already wondering, how they worked on the lower deck - seems, that they removed not only the companion ladder, but also the handles for the pumps
- excerpt from Syren drawing
from Pandora Anatomy book
from @dafi to show the space needed when the capstan was in use (here HMS Victory)
Do you know the outstanding model of the HMS Pandora by Narim Majgeldinov? - I have the impression, that he made the handles of the pumps only towards fore and not aft

Yes, we also pay attention to this problem, but we still decide to provide all the parts in the original design drawing. As for the installation, it depends on each modeler

For the convenience of packaging and transportation, the final deck is composed of two parts, but it is derived from the same raw material. I have a similar effect here. The deck below is composed of three parts separately
outstanding and beautiful details. I am sure this will be a pleasure to build.
