Getting there. A little bit of filling in places but not bad. Just about ready for masking which shouldn't take too long.

In common with many military aircraft nowadays I suppose it will be in low-viz markings?

Just a coat of varnish to go now. The decals went on very nicely - soaked off in 10 to 20 secs in cool to tepid water.
