Any advice would allow my little Tak to go out chasing other Taks with increased confidence.

Dave,
That's fairly severe acne.
To be honest, that would need the flakes peeled off and then a very thin layer of spot putty, rubbed back then resprayed in total. You couldn't match that precisely. Of course, this would mean removing the dewshield decal too, and potentially making a new one (I MAY have a spare still).. And then, if you are fastidious (read: anal) about it, you'd respray the main tube too to match.
I can do it for you, but my minimum cost on a full tube is around $150 (the proper automotive epoxy paint costs around $65 a can, and the clear another $35). You COULD do it with Bunnings sourced refrigerator epoxy paint for less, but I have never found the result as durable as the automotive stuff.
Or sell me the Tak
(been looking for a visual scope...hmmmm)
