Time to throw my hat into the ring, I think.  A hint of what is to come:

That should look rather tatsy in the Australian Army bush scheme, certainly more interesting than the standard greys & metallic greys.

As an alternative you could go with the AEW version operating from the new Canberra class LHDs  ;)

I promised this a long time ago.  My apologies for taking so long to deliver.

V-22 Osprey in the RAAF's "Goanna" Lizard wrap-around scheme.

Its based on an actual scheme that was tried experimentally by the RAAF on their Caribous but not used.   There were IIRC three Caribous which used the scheme.  All now sadly gone.

Nicely scheme - you'll have to do a C-27J like that as they will probably be that dull grey scheme to match all the other Transports  ;)

Are you reading my mind again?  Stop it!  You'll go blind!   :cheers:
