Haven’t been to Tindal as it is a long way away and quite remote, so unsure about spotters positions (Is in middle of desert), F/A-18s operate there, more info here:

I’ve been spotting at Williamtown several times, Hawks and Hornets (1 and 2 seaters) operate from here. There is a museum with a viewing deck facing the runways, and my personal favourite spot, the end of the runway. A lot of cars pull up here to watch, and it is not prohibited, very good spot for photos.

Another base I’ve visited is YSRI – Richmond, RAAF
Its a transport aircraft base, and currently houses C-130H/Js, and a 707, “soon” C-17s. Spotting locations are limited to the perimeter of the southern fenceline, as while you can drive around the northern side, views of the runway are blocked by buildings.

There will be an airshow October 21-22 at Richmond also, so spotter areas aplenty 🙂
Nice work, heres a few more Australian ones:
Relations between us and India are fine from what I know, more of a problem is Indonesia, who are much closer and more hostile.
Urban Camo? 😀

Look foward to seeing your photos of the mockup wilhelm.
Details of the project can be found in the following pdf for those interested:

The greater the number of rotorblades, I would assume would mean that they could spin at a lower speed and achieve the same amount of lift as an aircraft with fewer rotors, assuming the weight of the additional rotors was not so heavy as to negate this ?
Awesome drawing Deino, thanks heaps 😀
Not an F-18 🙂
Its an Su-27 Flanker
The game was a modification of Battlefield 1942, Desert Combat Extended, a couple of years back now
ACIG has a drawing of the Grey Scheme here http://www.acig.org/artman/publish/article_208.shtml
I used it to texture one in a computer game I worked on
Nah, photoshop, paint sucks to work with 😛
Continuing work on my size chart, thanks for your recommendations, and Madrat’s big list 🙂
Fixed NH-90 size, added a F-104G and in process of adding all of MadRats suggestions…
