Kit has a wierd flat section to each side, so first job is to remove that

I think that is meant to be the armoured belt but of course they have grossly overdone it as it was not really visible on the outside, unlike in some other warship designs.

Gidday, according to page 103 of my copy of "Anatomy of the Ship - USS Iowa" her main armoured belt was internal. She had 1 1/2 (38mm) inch plating only visible on that part of the hull. HTH. Regards, Jeff.
