Nicely done! She definitely looks more war-like now. That's one thing about historical modeling from this era; since the cammo patterns of WWII were designed to disguise the outline and features of a ship, they can wind up looking very bland on a model. However, your highlighting and detail work avoids that pitfall very well.
