I am building my first plank on bulkhead model and the plans call for installation of the deck fists and then planking the deck later.  I have seen planking done on the internet prior to installing the deck and it looks easier to fit and trim the planks prior to installing. 

Would appreciate any thoughts.

Install the plywood subject first, build up the bulwark and then plank. You cannot get a tight fit against the bulwark any other way.  (I assume with your kit there is no edge plank or waterway.  It is also easier to bend the plywood to get it into the hull prior to planking.
