Wouldn't be a better idea to use natural wood veneer? Cut it into matching strips and arrange on the deck to match the print. The planks you use are too glossy I think. The wash highlighted it even more as well as all misalignments. Also the widths are not correct. Another thing that doesn't look good are dowels. Not sure if they were used in Hood, but even if so, wouldn't be visible in 1/200 scale. Good luck in further build. Will keep looking.
