Fairly racing ahead with this one now! I gave in to angst and gave the fuselage another coat of neat SMS White, painted the engine and APU exhaust areas, and pulled off all the masking tape:
I ended up spraying the entire tail silver, so that I didn't have to guess where the leading edge demarcation should be, and the decals would have a uniform colour under them. Of course, I didn't then mask the entire tail, so I ended up with white patches anyway.
I then proceed to get as many decals on as my evening would allow, starting with those tail decals. I figured that if they failed me, then I could reprint them from the scans I took, but happily, this was not required. As it happens, though, the decals themselves are printed on a continuous sheet without any white (probably laser printed), so the tail decal really needed to be laid down over a white background. Too late, she cried!
And a different angle against a white background:
I'm really pleased with how it's turning out. The windscreen decal is from the Authentic Airliners Decals "3D" set, but I've decided I probably won't use the cabin windows from that set, as the fuselage will already be quite busy once all the decals are on, and the windows that come with the Ed Force One set actually look pretty good. I'm hoping to get all the decals on for the next update.
Stay tuned!

Yeah, I agree with the logic here. Finishing THREE of them surely will seal the deal.

Okay, to help this become factual folks, I will throw myself on a sword and finish my Beaufighter conversion to a VIf nightfighter! Using the the very nice Model Monkey cockpit and radar/observation stations. That should guarantee something happening.

There is also a Beaufighter at the US Airforce Museum in Dayton Ohio. I forgot about that one.

For what its worth, this explains the two island design and why they went that route.

As for the reason it was being "tugged" around, it has a problem with one prop coupling and needs repair as per below.
