Cafeenman, your model looks extremely well crafted. But I do see one of my pet peeves that might easily be corrected:

The machine guns were always embedded in the top deck and not just sitting on it. This makes your gun a full 1/4" or so too high. You've obviously done a very professional job at building an detailing this model so it's unfortunately to see it seeing there in such a non-scale manner. Actually if you look at the forward attachment point of the WB gun you'll see a short straight part and then the part that angles backwards. The part that angles backwards would be below the deck. About a 1/3 of the body of the MG will also therefore be below the deck. The solution is either to actually cut a hole in the deck (more scale) or if this is not possible then remove a quarter inch or so of the lower part of the gun.

I see this again and again on otherwise outstanding looking scale models (for example on all the kits from 3 SeaBees) and it can be so easily remedied.
