That looks pretty good. :) IMO she could use some more AA if this is a 40's design. What size guns are you using?

well AA duties are usually relegated to light cruisers and such in this so-called navy

main guns are 203mm, AA's are 40mm (I believe)

Looking really good. I think the AA guns look closer to 20mm though.

secondaries/main AA are supposed to be 40mm
those machineguns aft and among the superstructure are 20mm, though

The secondary turrets? They look closer to 75mm.

Looks very good I really like the lines
I have to agree with the others on the AA
Those look like 20mm to me and more AA in general should be added

3 inches is 76mm. I would say that is somewhat lacking in firepower. Wouldn`t dual purpose 127mm/5 inch guns be better?
