Maybe you can weigh the mass of all the plastic kits above the waterline yourself and then make an estimate to get a reasonable ballast water volume , it's really not that hard.
Mr. Merriman has done this operation tens of thousands of times and is probably tired of answering such questions, because you can do it yourself and it is not difficult.

Well for what's it worth, I just got a Type 092 Chinese SSBN I weighed the upper hull sans the sail, sailplanes, rudder and missile hatches and got 0.19kg or 190 gm.Let's over-estimate and put it at 250gm.

So the Type 092 needs around a 250ml ballast tank. With a 2" diameter wtc, the BT section would be around 5 inches long.



Noticed with David's build the front fixed stabilizer with separate rudder control surface and not a full flying rudder. Would such a small surface have the turning power?

David,
The air blaster with cup, I am assuming it is for paint. Does that give a splatter pattern? If not why this design?
Peace,

Nope. It's for blasting globules of masking material against the surface of a model. The water soluble mask (PVA or cut tooth-paste), once painted over, is washed away with water revealing the mottled finish desired.

Do you mix the window cleaner with the paint or spray it the surface of the work separately?
