They're looking good.

It looks simply gorgeous!

Wow ;D Brilliant! Just a question about a detail. I've never noticed the 4 doors you depict, aft of the Granit launchers. What are they?

 

[Evil Flower]

I'm not sure, but they were on the ship bucket drawing I used as a reference. There are also similar doors / hatches on the Kuznetsov right between the forward JBD's.

At first I was wondering if they were suppose to represent Meteorite launchers but then thought maybe they're weapons elevators. On the other hand it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to be arming them while they're in launch position and tying up flight operations.
