Do not use a paint schedule as it will not match your speciemen. Just antique it with gray primer and sand off using steel wool to accent scale markings, and paint by hand using the same tones as the body. the facial markings can be duplicated using a number of reference photos you can download off a computer or off this site. An airbrush is the wrong tool here! Use various sized artist brushes and wildlife colors.
