It's tricky, but I've done it- You need to take Scalecoat Armour yellow, and add tuscan to it, very slowly until you get the correct variation. It will match if you add drops at a time to get the correct shade. Good luck-

Thanks Jeff.  I am guessing with yellow the primer color is quite important.  Did you spray over a light gray primer, or some other color?

Just as a follow-up, I took Jeff's suggestion and mixed just a few drops of Scalecoat Tuscan to Scalecoat UP yellow.  It is indeed very tricky, but it looks pretty close.  I also tried the Cub Cadet yellow from Tractor Supply, but that looked too bright for my liking.  Now I need to get the gray paint on and the red stripes and decals.

Armour Yellow was a standard color.  When chromium was removed from paint, the struggle began.  It is almost impossible to match older yellow colors, even with factory formulae.

AN Yellow Orange was a standard color for WWII aircraft trainers.  I have tried everything to match it.  I come close, but never get it "on the money."  Anything painted before about 1995 cannot be matched exactly.

I agree - always use white under yellow.  Always!
