Default Interested in armour

I am one of those unlucky ones with cut down carriers. I would be interested in good drawings of the armour. If the alberta guys can make it cheap enough I could be into buying some. I get out to Edmonton at least once a year and could pick it up. It would knock years off the restoration to have it already pre made! I'll keep watching this thread.

right unfortunately i have found that the drawings above are not correct to a 1942 Mk1 canadian carrier specification. i am going to have to go on a road trip to see a pucker mk1 methinks !

i measured my armour remnants and came back with the following

so on my 1942 canadian UC Mk1

rear and side armour plate is 8mm

front armour is 10mm

Glacis plate 5mm

center bulkhead 5mm

good news is that i have DXF'd most of the plates so once i change the parameters they should be ok for CNC use
