Matching paint to original kyosho optima

[Ashlandchris]

I know there were kyosho paints, but I'm looking to find modern paints (fascolor, created etc) that will match the original optima box art. I've found a thread that lists equivalent tamiya rattle cans
PS3 (blue)
PS6 (yellow)
Then black and white for trim
But I want to have a go at air brushing the shell

Which water based paints suitable for an airbrush would match this please?

I've recently done an Optima shell.

I used Createx Opaque Yellow 5204 and mixed it to warm it up with Createx Opaque Red 5210. You have to test it out a little, trim out some old coke bottles. I got it really orange at first which was way to much, so you only have to drop in a small amount.

Hope this is useful!

Cheers Kane,
It is your fault I am asking as I saw your shell posting a week or 2 ago and knew that I had to have an Optima once more.

Great work

And also the Blue I used is:

Createx Fluorescent Blue 5403!
