deffo save the Mk1 hull in my opinion if it is a carrier from the above mentioned unit just look where they went !!!! this thing potentially has been around the globe no point making more chopped up hulls the complete mk1 would be worth more upon sale too IMHO making Mk2 armour is something Martyn can explain in and out as he has done a fantastic job of it himself..... like i say i would buy the mk1 tub off you if it meant saving it being dissmantled. i would litterally kill to get my hands on a mk1 tub like that ! it kills me working on mine the frustration of it being butchered in the first place. the schematics i have given Doug have the Mk1 type gunners side armour (with drop down triangle) but i can get my hands on the solid Mk2 of this plate if needed. the plates are not hard to do and i have figured out how to replicate the marks associated with the hardening process of the plate.
i would love to be in your position this is a cause for celebration THREE CARRIERS !!!!!
