If the library contained parts, this would probably work. I hope so anyway - maybe I could learn some hex editing if I could get past the cloning as well (cloning a ship seems to be a problem for many).
You mentioned that a lot of models have been created lately. These are the ones I have heard of:
Warships:
-Southampton class CL (British) - This one is excellent.
-Type 7 DD (Russian) - This one is under construction by Sergbuto, but hasn't yet been finished.
-K class CL (German) - Although it is a good ship, the forward funnel and the superstructure aren't accurate and look too much like the Southampton.
-US BB (Unsure of Class - North Carolina?) - Still looks like the KGV - no 16" main guns in game to use.
-Atlanta class CL (US) - This model looks very similar to the actual class, but hasn't yet been finished.
-Sao Paulo class BB (Brasil) - An interesting ship to add to the game, and with some changes to the tripods, it should accurate as well.
- Hood class Battlecruiser (British) - Doesn't look exactly like the Hood, but I doubt the parts (including a suitable hull) are available to make a more accurate one anyway.
Merchants:
Large Cargo - A clone of the German Commerce Raider, changed to serve as a freighter. The only actual feature of the model I don't like is its awkward looking funnel - it looks like a dummy funnel set up to change the ship's silhouette to avoid identification as a raider (maybe this is what it was intended to look like originally). It is also a little too big - I reduced the tonnage to 11,200 and someone else did so to 11,600 (although these tonnages are still unusually large for a WW2 freighter).
Transport - A clone of the British Auxiliary Cruiser. An excellent ship to add to the game, one of the best looking merchant ships in SH3 IMO. An extra troopship was needed anyway, as only two came with SH3 originally.
If I am forgetting any, please let me know.
