Need to build 80 kits per year until I'm 100 to deplete my stash. Maybe I should sell a couple.

Hey guys - I'm about to hit the painting stage on an early-war 1/32 Trumpeter F4F. Need to come up with an accurate mix for FS13538 (orange yellow/chrome yellow) most preferably using Tamiya paints. This is one of the few colors I haven't been able to find anything online for...any help?

*I should note that I'm colorblind, so no, I can't do it myself! My LHS only carries Tamiya (and I really like the spray consistency out of my airbrush) so other brands are less effective for me.

Thanks!

I've seen TS-34 Camel Yellow mentioned as well.

If you're amenable to ordering, Gunze Orange Yellow is an excellent shade for the yellow wings. And it sprays very similar to Tamiya (similar spray characteristics, but IMO better coverage in whites and yellows).
