Nice.
Not sure if the real thing will look like this, but this depiction is definitely a realistic one.

Great pic...you don't happen to have that full fold out.
I'd like to see if I can notice anything on the starboard side.
I do some small variance on the port side towards the back sponson which seems to give a little more flight deck space there.

no weekend today (island construction and deck sealing)
Just itching for them to put the island on... Apparently they craned it closer to the ship and built it up by another couple of decks (as we can see in the photographs). I'm not sure if they'll attach the incomplete first half as it is, installing sensors later, or if they'll lift a complete first half of the island. Either way, shouldn't be long now.
Woulnd be surprised if it goes on next week.
First the 2nd hole in deck and then the conning tower.

Filling in the holes on the flight dek and the forward half of the island is sitting right there.no weekend today (island construction and deck sealing)
Come on...put the island on that baby. Do it next week!
China's first indigenous carrier sure enough coming together!

Are the exterior dimensions exactly the same as the liaoning?
From what heard, the internal structure different, able to host 40 J-15 , higher than CV16.
Island structure is smaller as not to interfere and PAR higher , able to scan more.
