Which Oscar -- the Oscar 1 'Granit' or Oscar 2 'Antey'? I don't know how good the pictures will be for closeups, but this page on the
Type 949 series will give you more information. And the
Project 949/949A page over at
http://www.submarine.id.ru/ has more pictures, including several showing the actual missile tubes, but it's in Russian (you can use the translator at
http://www.translate.ru/ to translate the text, though). The submarine.id.ru site
does have some interesting photographs, with details that you probably won't see on other sites, such as a photograph showing the centerline panels on the upper bow open, or crew working in the SS-N-19 missile tubes.
