I see you have added a cage mast from the Colorado class BB in SHIV - it should actually be a tripod mast as per BBW's pictures (I would also give her a more prominant forward tripod than the New Mexico parent unit). Also, you should work on the bridge, as the New Mexico class's bridges looked substantially different from that of the Nevada. Plus, the Nevada had a straight bow rather than the raked bow of the New Mexico class. Also, the B and C turrets of the Nevada class had only two 14" barrels instead of the three of the New Mexico class.

These aren't anything to be too worried about though, and this is looking pretty good thus far. The New Mexico is a good base from which to start a Nevada, but I would personally work on the post-Pearl Harbour modernised version instead of the original configuration, as this version would be easier to kitbash from the New Mexico (the profiles were much more similar in some ways). But I encourage you to continue, as you are making good progress so far.
I agree. If necessary you can also use one of the tripods from the "Revenge" class in SH3, since with just a little work it can be an acceptable stand-in for an American tripod.
