Congratulation for your wonderful Cutty Sark! 
Looking at your sails there are details that catches my eyes. 
Your yards seem to have the jackstays, as the real Cutty Sark have. However, your sails are bent on the yards, and not on the jackstays, which is, in my understanding, the correct way of bend them. 
Secondly, the chains going up from the edge of the lower yards should be the sheets. 
If so, they should be shackled to the sheet point of the upper sails, not to a block below an upper yard.
Please take this lines only as an open discussion, I have in no way the intention of criticize your model, which is beautiful. 
I'm myself building a Cutty Sark , I know how complex it can get to follow the rigging, and I would like to discover any eventual mistakes as soon as possible to correct them. That's why I'm writing you. 
I am in no way an expert, so take my advices as they are, just a guess, and if you like your model as it is please ignore them!

Good day,

I Agree with Bruma remarks, I doubt if it is right way

*to bent sails to the yard in this case( clipper) but not to the jackstays

*and agreed with remarks about chain sheet and clew lines attachements- I think this part of your rigging need to be additionaly studied for understanding system work and checked,of  couse if You want and need it ;)...
