Not bad, not bad at all. The only problem at this point is that both air search radars you've used are 10-15 years too new for a new-build 5/38 destroyer (leader). SC-2 seems most likely to me.

Twin 40mm would probably be fit port and starboard, just forward of the boats (or replacing them entirely in wartime).

You should replace the top one and remove the lower one entirely. You're not plausibly shipping two major air search set on a ship this size in this era.

The stern looks a bit long compare to the bow, I suggest you to move the superstructure slightly backwards.

Or make the ship shorter.
One nit-pick is that the portholes seem to be placed too close vertically, and that means not enough headroom.

Also, having a sizeable space between the d.c. throwers and the aft racks; it would make more sense to group them at the stern. but yes, notwithstanding the good effort put in this is a very large hull for the actual weaponry, and I'm not sure if this would be economic.

This strikes me as a plausible destroyer-leader.

She's an exceptionally well-balanced little ship.
Handsome, capable, and historically possible.

Would have made a respectable station ship, or a very good post-war export design.
