I'm sorry to say it, but her stacks look like very strange.... women pleasers? If you know what I mean? (yes, I'm an English speaker, but i'm trying to be subtle).
I think it's mainly the colour scheme and the shape of the top but... yeah... toys...
Hmm ... An interesting point of view ;) Actually, I just decided to play around with the design of stacks - these elements can be regarded as sufficiently variable.

And the color ... Color tradition of United Republic, nothing more!

Fair enough. It might just have been my brain perverting the image...

Hmm ... After your words, and now I have ... the association. ;)

But I'm pretty perverted, so I did not care! After all - this is South America! :)

Not bad, though the stacks look like they belong on a train.
The lag of anti torpedo boat guns is a little odd I think. Torpedoes were the rising threat at the time aftes all.

You think, that eight 4" / 40 QF Marks XII on board and 4 (in theory ;) ) on the ends wouldn't be enought?

Those are 4inchers? Somehow I'd gotten the idea that they were 6in.

In casemates, those guns would be slower to train and less useful.
They could be mounted on the deck- or on the turret tops if there are mo other places.

I don't mind the colors. They are south american, that's ok. Placement of the turrets is ok. Casemats and their placement...I would remove two of the mid casemats. Placement of the midship searchlight...uuh..no. Move it up on the aft mast. The aft mast. It has a ladder. That's good. The fore mast needs one, too. Overall, do some details. Do a underwater hull (maybe copy a fitting one). Do more shading. Make your ship live. It could become a good one.
