Very nice work.

The only nitpick I have is that the inner vertical black line on the aft funnel and the vertical black line beneath the lower forward FC radar should be grey instead as these are faceted structures rather than a hard 90 degree break. But other than that, it looks good.

These are coming along very nicely, so first of all, keep up the good work.

If I had one minor quibble, I can't help but feel that the bridge "wings" should have grey instead of black lines as well, on the forward part as well as the bottom, as neither of those are 90-degree angles. Right now it appears as if it's overhanging the superstructure which isn't the case in reality.
