What prompted me to even speak up was the fact that your planking looks so good! And your hinges look...well...I’m looking for help on those rudder hinges. I had a tough time getting those installed and they ain’t pretty.
The most obvious thing to my eye is the loss of scale. Those hinges are way too wide for the 1:100 scale of your model. And the bolts are simply too large. It might help if you intend to blacken/burnish them with your liver of sulfur. I know that can be done in situ (Casey's would need to be done before installing the brass bits because it can stain the wood). But if you had the ability to narrow those down it would go a long way to making the hinges look more appropriate. And if you had smaller nails...
Just to get a sense of it, these hinges are on a 1:48 model:

Anyway, even if you can't change them on this model, it's something to think about for future models. Unfortunately, many kits just don't provide properly scaled parts, and it is often necessary to make your own from scratch or make a go of modifying what came with the kit.
It's only your second build so please don't feel like I am being critical. I'm just trying to share some of my own experiences.
