The magazines and engine room were plated over on Malaya according to my book.

A lot of HMS Malaya's deck had been armour plated by the time my Grandad served on it - that is the reason it sits lower in the water in pictures of it in the second world war when compared to those from the first. I'm sure parts of it were still wooden though...

Very nice, I've got a kit to build of the Queen Elizabeth class battleship my Grandad served on during the war. If it turns out half as nice as yours I'll be very happy.
