Great work. Two items, though:
I'm sure that the same floatplane aircraft were not carried from 1925
all the way through 1938, and the markings on the Vought Kingfisher
floatplanes in 1944 were not the same as 1942.
Do you have any tips about how to fix it?

Wow, very nice work!

Wasn't Pennsylvania in MS 21 for WW2? I also echo Ace's comments for the hull shading, the shading on the bulges looks a little odd.

A lovely set of drawings, though.
That's what I thought but the confirmation is gratifying.

Always remember that you can check what camouflage any USN battleship carried fairly easily here: http://www.shipcamouflage.com/usn_bb.htm (this also applies to most of the other surface unit types).

I believe I've fixed the bulge shading problem and I've added measure 21 camo to the 1944 version.

Regarding the aircraft, the 1938 floatplane should be a
SOC Seagull - it is on the master parts sheet for the USN,
but not in all over silver with yellow top wing. The OS2U
Kingfisher is on the parts sheet in 1945 markings and color.
After mid 1942, there was no red "meatball" in the middle
of the star on the U.S. roundel, and by 1944, there was a
white bar on either side of the star.

Nice to see the Pennsylvania-class, since I need that ships for a 'special project'. Great Work.

the hull shading still does make little sense to me. you have parts unchanged by the addition of bulges which are suddenly shaded on some drawings, and not on others. you added more colours and made it more complicated, but what exactly do you represent?
