Here are today's updates...
After masking the Ocean Grey panels I sealed everything with Future and gave her a coat of gloss black lacquer and set aside to dry:

Some of the black was masked for where I wanted black stripes on the model:

She then got a coat of Tamiya Bare Metal Silver:

Followed by more blue masking tape for making the silver panels:

I wanted to show this image as a reminder of what a great designer Matt Jefferies was.
I always loved the low angle shot of the Enterprise between the nacelles and over the hump of the bridge looking forward into the unknown.
This angle kind of reminds me of that:

To wrap up today's post here are some pics of the finished Scout Ship.
All that's left is a few layers of Dullcote:
