If you need some higher res pics of Jaureguiberry for your project -- drop me an e-mail
--some of the French pre-dreads had their decks covered with lino by WW1-- the on -deck photo of Jaureguiberry below is from a contemporary magazine during the Dardanelles campaign
The later ships it seems were all built with either steel or lino decks- and some of the earlier ships had a mish-mash thereof
As Darius says--no rule of thumb-- you need photos...
Jaureguiberry -- The main deck was planked.- seems like throughout her career

I reckon the aft deck was also planked-see photo excepts below--and I would conclude that the foredeck was also planked-
she was a contemporary of Massena - and my research for that model
http://www.modelwarships.com/reviews/sh ... eview.html suggested that the anchor handling and aft warping deck on that ship were steel-
- however the photo of Jaureguiberry below.....
the similar tonal values in the photo of main and aft decks and the faint lines would lead me to conclude that the
aft deck was also wood--alomg with the deck atop the aft superstructure ( whet the ligt QF guns are mounted)
