One small nitpick. There should be a stay supporting the Dinghy Boom. (The brown thing on the freebord)
Also, it would likely have been painted, though that's just speculation.

Nice ones Alvama, can we be seeing some K-classes submarines soon, and perhaps the modern O class?
On the Java I am not sure about the camouflage pattern however, I think the dark and light should be reversed and altered a bit:

Great pics, Alvama, but for the last one you ought to write in proper English: "at the Battle of the Java Sea, February 27, 1942", or simply "in 1942".

Found one other thing, the brown stripe on the side, what is it supposed to be? The "walking planc" was higher and further aft and the line at that place I see on photos, always seem to be in the same colour as the flank.
