So, after applying decals and sealing everything, I started in with successive oil washes of Burnt Umber, Black, and Cool Grey. I attempted to add varying shades of red, orange, and yellow with a sponge to produce a mottled effect but I didn't like it.

I primed this with Kylon Red Oxide primer, applied a coat of hairspray for chipping, then airbrushed on Tamiya paints.
