Building a seriously generic T2

Frank SpahrThank you, gentlemen!
I haven´t yet decided upon the weapons layout, and also about what to do about the framework used for deck storage. I´m currently aiming at the layout visible in the Wikipedia image of Hat Creek illustrating their page on the T2 tankers.
I´ve tried to make my own float racks using generic PE railing stock; I do like the effect of the rack witha NorthStar float on it.

Frank SpahrI tried making my own oblong life raft, as the T2 photos I found only showed this shape and not the rounded ones. The grating is coarser than with the NorthStar item, but I´m optimistic as to the final look once painted. What do you think?

Album info
As I know of no kit of a T3 tanker in 1:400 scale, I am building the ancient Revell ESSO Glasgow kit in a generic military version to complete my project. I am pretty sure that HMS Victorious was refueled by a T2 sometime during her stint with the USN, so it´s at least remotely close (no pun intended, or is it?) to my reference picture.
