Discovered this 72.708 "Orange Fire" colour from Vallejo's game air range which is pre-thinned for airbrush use. Will try it soon on a coach but the test card looks promising. This might be the first paint manufacturers product that works straight out of the bottle. Just passing it on.

I already tried it and found it a bit too orange compared to anything available RTR (it's much more orange than say the Bachmann MM mk2a's). This one was done with it but without a control in the picture it probably won't help much:

I'm currently evaluating a RAL 2011 from Modellbau Oesling. It's drying at the moment.

I suppose different strokes for different folks. I like to match anything I paint to the RTR versions of same, where possible.

Some folks will prefer as close a match to the original tones, whatever they were lol.

I can plonk this body alongside a selection of RTR models in daylight tomorrow if anyone is interested.

Ok, good to have a feedback sample, thanks. I'll stick to my well proven Vallejo Yellow+Red mix at 35:1

I caught the last bit of evening sun to take some quick comparison pics outside. The coach body is painted in Vallejo game air fire red.

For comparison this is RAL 2011 from Modellbau Oesling on the right, sprayed over a Vallejo air white on a Bachmann mk2a FK. On the left is a MM Bachmann mk2a SO:
