@Dave, that outer glow really helped. Thanks.
Small change. Just added all the text/signs, some general fading and weathering on the rivets. Done with the fuselage. Will visit it again when I'm done with the exhaust section. Have to add the exhaust soot at the same time for consistency.
Had an interesting time lining up the text below/right of the regiment sign (~). In the end I projected a temp texture onto the two sections, baked them out and used the baked images as a guide in PS.
