Some old footage of Admiral Kuznetsov in the Black Sea launching and recovering MiG-29Ks:

An interesting little two part documentary on the Russian MoD Youtube channel about the Kuznetsov's 2016 voyage to the Mediterranean prior to her seeing combat for the first time in Syria:

It's in Russian but if you go into settings on Youtube you can get auto-translated subtitles. Subject to all the usual caveats of auto-translate. It has some nice onboard views and closeups of the aircraft. Should anyone want to model her as she appeared then.

What is the huge cylindrical object above island and immediately below the Fregat/top plate radar? It looks like it is either a huge dielectric radome covering a very large rotating antenna inside, or some kind of circular phased array.
