Shown here just after being fitted with 1.1"/75 quadruple AA-guns and a siren on the funnel front in 1941.

Yes, a really excellent representation - you seem to have emerged from the egg fully fledged :)

The only thing I noticed was the national markings on the floatplane - it doesn't look like the U.S.A.?

It's supposed to be a 1942 USN roundel as shown here.

Yes, I can see it when I pull back. It is fiendishly difficult to get these small details right, so I'd say you've got it as close as possible :)
