055 Large Destroyer Thread II
- Thread starter Blitzo
- Start date
Building a 1/200 scale display model of Type 055. Would like to make it as accurate and detailed as possible. Can anyone point me to some photos to clarify some details:
1. Are the torpedo tubes behind the subtle hull side hatch just ahead of the hangar block? If so are there photos of the ships with the hatch open? Do they slide sideways like pocket doors or do they swing inwards along a hinge line on top or sides?
2. Are there any photos of the VDS and decoy hatches on the transom stern open? Do they open inwards or slide sideways?
3. There are 2 doorways on either side of the helicopter hangar doors. Do these have doors that close them off or are they permanently open passage ways?

One of the 055 DDGs that are under construction at Jiangnan is expected to be launched soon. The ship's hull and superstructure have already been painted.
Another new 055 and one new 052DG are currently being assembled right beside said 055 DDG.
