I think a really important point here to note is that the model should look right!
Note this does not mean rivet counting, or trying to get the model 100% accurate in miniature. You never will be able to - SJPONeill is correct in his comments on scale here. Rivet counters should write reference and historical books, not attempt models.
Quite simply I would suggest make the model how you like it, so it conveys what you want to convey. If you want it weathered, do so. If you want new, do so. If you want it dented etc.,.........
Listen to your creative feelings/gut feel and build something to convey what you want. Also build something you are capable of building.
And remember that 95+ per cent of the people who will admire it (hopefully!) will know zip about ships anyway!
Simple!
Now enjoy making the model....................!
