These 3D-printed acrylic parts are designed to accurately represent features of the actual ship.  They are not 3D-printed copies of any resin or plastic kit parts and therefore may be differently shaped and sized.  Some adjustment to your plastic kit's flight deck parts or other aftermarket parts such as photoetch or wood decks may be necessary for best fit.
