Love that AOR - the detail work really is fantastic. Glad to see you back on the 'bucket LEUT_East. :)

Awesome new additions! (not that anyone would expect anything else from You)

My only nit-pick is the lack of window/porthole/cockpit windshield color uniformity. ;)
(Castlemaines and Modified Rockhamptons have these deep blue on ships but greyish blue on helicopters; on Mary Foley they are golden-brownish but most helicopters have them greyish blue - except for the one amidships on the first drawing; original Rockhamptons and Jindivicks have them all deep blue - both on ships and on helos; two sheets of Supplys have total of 4 RHIBs, one of which has the same window color as ship and helos, but other three have it deep blue)

Yeah, just mucking around with colouring at the moment of windows. What colour scheme do you use mate as I love your designs and would like to emulate that in my designs.

In late 2021, the Australian Government purchased a Modifided Supply Class that was originally made for the UAE Naval Forces. Due to contractural issues, the vessel was declined by the UAE and purchased by the Independant Federation of Australia Navy as a companion ship to AS Supply and AS Endeavour. She was commissioned AS Diamantina and employed as a Fleet Oiler with a limited replenishment capacity.

Fantastic AOEs. Made me look at my entry into the modern auxiliary challenge and be slightly ashamed...

Cheers

Next off the list for a major redux is my Moreton Bay Class Littoral Control Ships - AS Moreton Bay and AS Jervis Bay. I have upgraded them significantly by increasing the length of the flight deck, added SeaRAM in a modular capacity and basically went mad on the detailing.

Hope you like them. BTW, yes I am aware that AS Moreton Bay has a later hull number than AS Jervis Bay. This was deliberate due to an issue during keel laying. And the colours of the Utility Seahawks are those of the parent HS817 Squadron.

The LCS drawings are lovely, but the electronics arrangement on the mast leaves something to be desired. Your SPQ-9B lookalike is blocking the CEC arrays over a wide forward arc.

What is the structure below them that looks like a big toothed gear edge-on, somewhat resembling UPX-29? It also has trouble.
