The unfinished ship remained pier-side in the shipyard until March 1942, when the Kriegsmarine decided to pursue aircraft carriers over surface combatants. Seydlitz was among the vessels chosen for conversion into auxiliary aircraft carriers.

I've also found pics of ship partially completed, with superstructures partially assembled and without superstructures during conversion.
Interesting trivia btw.

Meanwhile, works are in progres with auxiliary cruiser \ commerce raider Komet too.
Here's a trio of pics, with latest updates and fantastic textures from Flush Deck, as always a great artist!
