Yes not a very inspired scheme.

 

With the IL-76 I can see the beauty in her ugliness..... I have yet to see it in the A380. :lol: .....besides the A380 is waaay too quiet. ^_^

Very nice shots Ed!

If you mean you saw the "White Whale" - this is not the final livery. There will be some blue stuff painted on the fuselage. Even though that's not much better in my opinion:

Was this the same plane in the James Bond Die Another Day? Or was that an Antonov? The glass panel windows on the lower nose remind me of where the villain and Bond fought in the end.

Nope, they used an AN-124. Because it's more spectacular to fight on a glass floor, they put the glass thingy in the front. Since they only used a model and CGI for the movie it was nbd to implement this change. See here:

Die Another Day - worst Bond movie of all times if you ask me. And I've seen all of them.
