I'd go yellow first, then mask & do blue & red - depends on what decals you have - You might get some paint buildup with that many layers

Congrats on the new look Shayne! Making some nice progress and if you're making it as a curbside, it is ideal as you can still see some exposed engine. I'm with Duke, I would spray the yellow first? Then mask off the yellow, add a thin layer of primer if needed, and then spray the red, then do the same and spray the blue. Easy for me to say though, I've never sprayed more than 2 colours onto a model so far...

A little bit of progress has been made. I have decided to try and spray the dark blue after masking the yellow areas off. I was going to do the same with the nose but thought id see how the yellow nose decal goes, if no good I can always mask it and spray primer then yellow. The fit of the engine cover is quite poor but again this is just a shelfer for me and I want to make sure I hit the deadline on this one.

That's what I did. I still need to paint the roll hoop yellow, but you get the idea.

I used TS-16 over white primer.

Yours is coming along nicely.
