Thanks all for the advice. That seals it: it will now be left with all its war wounds! Good job I didn't show you the other side though!
It just needs a new Royal Navy flag and a bit of rigging to complete it: this had the secondary purpose of keeping the funnels and control tower in place. Unfortunately it's box and instructions disintegrated after putting the ship away without drying properly. This lack of protection may explain some of the chips.
