Color-wise this is a vivid, light orange leaning warm. For modelling, drop to Fluorescent Matt Fire Orange in the recesses and step up to Orange on the edges, both Humbrol paints. Substitutes are thinner on the ground; Tamiya Orange is the nearest same-finish option at 87 percent, with 2 brands in strong-match range. Any substitute is a mixing base rather than a drop-in, so tune it on the model.
