I began the complex task of painting camouflage ... My hope is to be able to do an acceptable job ...

I built a Dora a long time ago, they definitely had some complex camo, and many examples had parts/panels/components replaced, sometimes with bare metal. But as long as you are not going "Yellow-10" (and you are not with the red-stripes) then the upper camo shouldn't be too bad.

Yellow-10:

(few Luftwaffe examples had 3+ colors on the underside, but you did choose a hard one)
