No I'm not upset
(you do what you want, I'll only give you my opinion (supported by accurate pics/data with the aim of drawing the most realistic ship possible))
I heavily advise you to draw the following versions:
- The Scheme 3 (6 February 1940) with 5"/38 & north-carolina/iowa 127mm config, quads 28mm & single 0,5" MG's
- The Scheme 4 (14 February 1940) with 5"/54 & north-carolina/iowa 127mm config, quads 28mm & single 0,5" MG's
- The Scheme 8 (15 March 1940) with 5"/54 and the final twin 127mm config, quads 28mm & single 0,5" MG's
- maybe a mid/late 1940 config ?, with quads 28mm & single 0,5" MG's
- Mid 1941-mid 1942 (my favorite one, the final true/real studied design), with quads bofor, single 20mm oerlikons & few single 0,5" MG's
- Mid 1942-mid 1943 (simply with more AA guns, only 40mm & 20mm)
- 1945 (completed by june-december (even early 1946), if effectively "laid-down" by late 1942/early 1943 after the early May 1942 order)
- 1948 (if effectively "laid-down" by late 1943 if re-ordered by late 1942/early 1943 before the july 1943 cancelation)

Waiting your next full round (V4 ?) of drawings

Loooks good. Just forgive me for a small nitpick: Turret 1 lost the rangefinder during the 1980's refit.

A little over 1000 feet (around 310 meters.)
