Decals applied, not a perfect fit in the belly but I can live with it. The weathering will take care of the minor gap.

Marbeling done, next question is what the top-coat should be... Initially I was planning to go Medium Gray, buy black would also look sleek. And why not buff?

Top-coated with a mix of 2 parts XF-59 (Desert Yellow) and 1 part XF-57 (Buff). The outcome is pretty close to the Desert Storm color I was seeking.
Masking and painting the nose tomorrow followed by some gloss and decals.
