looks like Sov?
It is annoying that I am unable to edit my post, anybody knows why?

Yes, one of the Sovs.
I believe it's one of the second two Sovs...the newer improved EM models with the Kashtan CIWS on either side just forward of the hanger and the aft 130mm gun removed.
Either Taizhou, 138, or Ningbo, 139.
According a French magazine
Possible could carry YJ-18A and a new CM DH-10 derivative only in part of its cell's, 16-32/64 because this missiles do 9 m long while others cell's are less long do 7 m for HQ-9.
Interesting they say two configurations of armament :
More defensive for escort the Liaoning : 56 x HQ-9B + 8 x YJ-18A
More offensive : 16 x YJ-18A + 40 x HQ-9B + 32 HQ-16 ( 4 by cell )
H/PJ-38 130 mm gun : 70 cal, range 30 km, 40 rds/min.
New missile ASW planned : CY-2.

Interesting.
I could see them carrying 8 SSMs, 48 LR AAMs, and 32 SR AAMs for escort duties too.
Gives a more layered defense.

I hope new generation of FFG will have that, a 32 cell forward and 16 cell aft to total 48 cells for the Type 054B or even split them 24/24
Type 052C has a 48 cell VLS and Type 052D a 64 cell layout and I hope the Type 055 can top 128 cells now THAT would be awesome firepower
Type 054A forward 32 VLS (24 ship class has 768 total VLS)
Type 054B 48 VLS ( 8 ship class has 384 total VLS)
Type 052C 48 cell VLS ( 6 ship class has 288 total VLS)
Type 052D a 64 cell VLS (12 ship class has 576 total VLS)
Type 055 to have 128 cell VLS ( 6 ship class has 768 total VLS)
If they add more than 2 x Type 055 per fleet they could greatly enhance VLS to over 1,000
Total thus far based on above is 2,784 total VLS capability, we can see the power Type 055 can bring 10% ship strength but providing over 1/4 of the firepower

A little bit off topic. I know you like making models of combat ships. The guys in the attached video made truly awesome tank models, including Tigers and other WWII German Tanks. They pay so much attention to details. Hope one day they will also make models of 052D and J-20.
