I have made rough sketch of the upper plate above the division plate. Its been made just from the photos, so its not definitely accurate.
May I kindly ask anyone with Mk.II to measure basic dimensions for me? They are marked with letters on the sketch. Or possibly I overlooked some important detals, so detailed pics would be also great help. I will redraw it then and happily share with you.
Thanks in advance!

One mystery solved
Yesterday found traces of welding also on the lower part of the front armour. They were very well hidden under the paint, but they are there! So I have a standard layout of the wading plates, nothing special in this case! Sorry for confusing you
Also finished some work on the side armours, they are now ready for fitting on the hull.

Carrier has got his nickname today (and some nice paintings too). "Toughboy"
