International Orange...please help!

[kozi]

Great site! Have been watching from afar for a while but first time posting.

I am about to start Tasman Models CT-4B and need help in selecting a match for International Orange Fs 12199 as I am led to believe this is the correct shade to use.
Can anyone advise me please of a good match, prefer acrylics but will use whatever to get the shade right.
So far I am looking at using Testors MM 1628 as it looks to be close.
Great pic a couple of pages back on this site of a Harvard in these colours, captured it perfectly, would love to know if anyone has the details on this build.
Will post a few pics of my Kiwi collection soon.

Many thanks in advance,

Kozi

About to paint IO on a Hasegawa 1/48 TA-4J Skyhawk and will be trying the Hasegawa recommended mix of Gunze acrylics for this which is 70% H14 Orange + 30% H327 Red FS11136

I used Lifecolor LC22 on the Harvard I posted a while ago.

The name International Orange was changed when we started using 2 pack paints.
This went to Scarlet Chrome

Many thanks Guys, that will get me started!
Silverfox, that Harvard looks awesome by the way, have ordered one myself.

Cheers,

Kozi

Have the Hasegawa mix of IO on my TA-4 now and I can say that their Gunze mix recipe is almost spot on to the FS595 fan deck I have. It was the merest hint of too orange (but that could have been my measuring) so added a few more drops of the red and it's a closer match than I've seen any paint manufacturers produce. Will try and get some pics later this week before I head down to Chrsitchurch.
