Well, it's only been a few months since an update on this one.
It turns out Testor Bright Red in their spray can was a near perfect match for the red in the CAL FIRE decals. Here's what it looked like over the white.
It took more coats than I expected and managed to leak under the tape in several of the typical places.
Some spots were my own fault. Over all, it could have been worse. And I managed to break the nose gear off.
Nose gear pinned in place and a lot of touch up. I'm going to touch up the black next and maybe add some design around the engine exhaust.

So some progress has been made these few months. The mojo has been lacking and I'm spending far too much time looking at modeling stuff on my phone instead of building stuff. Now that summer is almost here it will be even harder to focus. Decals will be next so pray for me! I'm still on a mission to finish things so go ahead and nag me into working on stuff!
