    CB Progressing. First CB Midget sub test. scale off, 3/4 inch too short. Second one adjusted up to 1/32 scale. Overall length will be 18.25 inches (463.55 mm). Print time 16 hours. New one printing now will take 20 hours for these two hull halves.

    Enough detail Davd?

    Where did you get your reference photos showing the grid patterned holes on top the missile hatches? Click image for larger version

ID:	186524 I did however saw a photo of the Type 94 Jin class SSBN, successor to the Xia class showing the holes on top of the missile hatches arranged in a radial pattern.

    What are the chances those on the Type 092 are layed out in a similar pattern?
    Don't know. Went with Trumpeter's interpretation. There are subtle differences (and a few not-so-subtle) between the 092 and 094 class.

    With most projects these days -- with the clock hands ever closer to 12 -- I tend to be less anal retentive, and more pragmatic. Not yet totally useless, but not the sharpe tool I used to be.

    That's what I get for making an assumption. Yes, you're right: two different kits with different scales. My bad.

    I've seen a Trumpeter test shot of a version of this kit with all missile hatches open.

    The two forward missile hatches were separate from the rest which were engraved. After glueing the two hatches flush with the deck I was compelled to re-scribe the hatch outline, which left a scared deck needing fill. Also, I actually drilled vent holes atop each missile hatch as that would be better looking than the lightly engraved circles provided on the kit part. Some of those needed filling. So... I said, what the hell, and puttied all the hatches for symmetries sake.

    Steve Reichmuth is lead on this project and informs me that the 3D printed hull master is in work. I'll reduce that, when it arrives, to tooling from which I'll produce 'kits for Steve, the 3D printer guy, myself and a few of my buddies. You're not one of my buddies? Here's a message from my buddy, Venom:
