Both of those are amazing.

Yes you do. There's air inside a submarine and when it explodes the flames and smoke burst out in giant air bubbles.

Is there a light source of the orange and red? They look too bright and luminous to be just reflections, pretty amazing sea foam/spray.

Look at this one with the reflection of the explosion on the carrier's island:

You guys might find this interesting:  http://www.wingnutwings.com/ww/

Wingnut companies are part of Peter Jacksons collection (Weta Digital, LoTR etc). I think in downtime between movies they do modelling projects. Jackson also has a company that makes full scale replicas of WW1 stuff.

His team also did some WW1 exhibitions, instead of small dioramas they went the other way, the detail on them is stunnng:

Pretty, but highly inaccurate.  Musashi struggled on for quite some time after the last attacks before succumbing.  Almost her entire crew got off.

That's awesome.

This gives some better views of the detail. Going to the exhibition could be quite emotional.
