Judging from the close-ups, it looks generally very good - at least for the hull and superstructures. Could use a lot of improvement with Pit Road Neo gun turrets, torpedoes/housings, and 25mm AA. Could also use a PE set for better W/T doors and hatches, and replace those ugly hose/cable reels.

I WISH they;d STOP tying to make the diamond plate effect on the deck. At scale, those raised diamond parts would be over a foot tall.

Yeah, it is kind of over-done, but if they leave the deck smooth they would be criticized for that, too. I have some Pit Road models with much finer tread-plate pattern. Maybe carefully sand it down a bit?
