@sundancer – yikes … I’m looking at those photos and I do NOT envy the task you have ahead of you.

SOME of those yellow patches will be easy … the knee caps, shoulder pads, the sides of the “loincloth” armor … also the borders of the calves, shin pads, things like that.

The hellish parts will be those smooth, even curves of the yellow on the sides of the helmets, etc (wings, avian-like graphics, etc.)

I am not an expert painter by any means.

My only POSSIBLE idea would be … do the yellow FIRST?  Then cut in around it with the surrounding gray?  Or at least if you’re spraying / airbrushing the gray, keep some of that paint aside in a reserve bottle for hand-applied touch ups afterwards?

The reason being … not only will the patterns be difficult, but it’s YELLOW.  As in the most difficult color.

Gray covers yellow much easier than yellow covers gray.  So it MIGHT be easier to get the sharp, smooth, clean edges if you’re putting gray atop of yellow rather than vice-versa?
