How about a RNZAF one?  I know that for many years the RNZAF wanted C-17s but by the time they finally decided to try to purchase there was only a single example available (they wanted at least 2).  In the real world they eventually purchased C-130Js.  what if they decided to go with a couple of A400Ms instead...in this scheme:

That was certainly discussed in Canada 20-odd years ago (both as a C-17A alternative and as a CC-130E replacement).

Nice! I could also see her with some temporary patches of washable white in that landscape 

[Edit: I only just noticed that you'd gone back to pre-unification RCAF roundels too! Clever  ]
