Yes, there are some superb schemes appearing on heavy aircraft (B-52, KC-135R etc) lately. I have been contemplating a reprint of CD72030 and a couple of Microscale-printed limited edition supplements with these special schemes.

Just Googling "special KC-135" will give one a huge number of recent schemes worthy of decal attention.  Finding out which ones are being done will take a bit longer.

Interesting that the 128th used "Milwaukee" instead of the past "Wisconsin" (university in Madison) lettering. Don't know if they will all be that way. In the last year, the 128th was not selected to receive the KC-46A Pegasus tankers. These KCs are approaching 70 years old now - of course they've been updated, but the basic airframe is still nearly as old as I am!

I wonder if it had anything to do with licensing?  Old photo from Wiki shows KC-135R with UW style tail band and F-16C with Madison tail band and WI tail code.
