Here we have the refitted HMS Göta Lejon! Further scavanging other people's drawings and partsheats, I've(hopefully) raised to late 30s standard! :)
Hope you like it! :D

The last versions looks ok
I would
- move X & Y turret forward. The hull is too shallow for magazines there. You also have props running right out the hull in the middle of your aft magazine. The X turret should be just over the aft 12cm mount. The secondaries need aswell to moved forward by the same length
- Be carefull with shadeing. Look att good watercolors or prints of ships for the right shades. But beware - it is not liked at SB.

All guns must be displayed with their barrels at zero elevation unless physicaly incapable of doing so.

I don't know if the Gyrostabilized Bofors 40mm is capable of zero elevation. I "borrowed" them from psilander, who made them at 45-ish elevation. If it looks better though, I can redo them to zero.

@KHT you have to credit Bezobrazov for his excellent badge for HSwMS Göta Lejon ;)

At the very momment I entered this page and saw your comment, I was just on my way to do exactly that... for the third-ish time before being side-tracked...
Should that be said in the picture or in the post?

You could set a bracket after the bracket with the ship drawer like this:
(KHT) (CoA by Bezobrazov)
or set a bracket beneath the badge only with the name (Bezobrazov)
The most common is the first though. :)

I would still move the aft turrets forward about a centimer in the pic. The belt should not be raised to the top side of the ship, keep it as a straight line maybe a meter or two over the wateline, maybe lower at the ends.

Look att IRL designs for inspiration - like the Iron Duke or QEs of the same era.

About the badge - It is heraldicly correct. but it isnät in the style that the Royal Swedish navy depicted them.
