Do you include Alvama's drawings of Texas and Arizona in that statement? I think those look pretty good.
Yes, entirely and wholeheartedly. Just because the drawing "looks pretty good" doesn't make it accurate. They are sorely lacking in details and have many parts that are just plain wrong. They are both very clearly just traces of source lineart without a lot of research put into it (Alvama has even said this to me occasionally). The same can be said about his Midway drawing and various others.
Unless it's one of the FD scale ships (for which he literally has thousands of photos of the real thing) or a Dutch ship, I won't vouch for the accuracy of those drawings.
