Well done! Very impressive work for 1/700 (or any scale). Flyhawk is really upgrading the standards of ship kit, I have to say.

Wonderfully weathered! Beautiful build! If I was into flattops I would put this at the top of my list. Congrats! I love the lower hull weathering, looks realistic. Do you want to share in steps how you weathered it, what colors used in what order to make it look so realistic? I always strive to this but struggle at times.

happy to share! I use air brush and Mr.hobby paint to do the job, basically in this order.
Paint the hull with the hull red first, pre express contamination of lower hull use tan and green color very lightly, it expresses the appearance of a green algae and the faded color, flat black for the water line, then super smooth clear(GX114) to protect previous paint.
Washing lower hull several times use Mr. Hobby’s weathering color stain brown mix black with very low concentration.
CM techniques by use white oil paint on the water line, the saltiness expression of water line really help to increases the realness(also good for other part of the ship by different oil paint color ).
And again super smooth clear to protect all the works.

Thank you, this is similar to what I did on my Prince of Wales build. Just I cant articulate it as well. To me it was more of a paint / adjust / paint / adjust process. Much all over the place and not consistent. I can never do this over and over in same way, it is always something new and I dont have a technique as such. I found that best is when the hull plates are available / made, which you can weather for depth. Otherwise one must play with shadows and washes on smooth surface, always hard...

One thing I do is I usually will mask the boot topping with a wave/ish pattern and then spray the lower half with some kind of dull green/brown mix that is almost transparent. That gives me this matte final rough look and weathers about half of the boot topping ("discolours" it). Something like this below. But I really like how yours came out, I could do more white salt stuff. Note, I made sure lower half has hull plates even if kit did not have.
