Mohawk toners work really well. I'm not sure of the exact color for this model though.

I have the brass plating stuff from AES I am going to try on the metal bezel.

I guess if it ever comes to light that I need decals I could slide them on and give it another coat of lacquer.

Have you tried using the AES plating stuff on anything yet ?
I've used the Caswell kit and it came out looking more like copper than brass.

That strategy should work fine for decals.
