IJAAF trainer "orange" & "orange/yellows" in general - pt.3

In this third set of tests, I first tried Tamiya X-26 "clear orange" over MrColor 58 on a pink surfacer.

The results were fantastic! The clear orange darkens the yellow and by giving sufficient depth, makes it interestingly vibrant.
Very lightly thinned X-26 gives more orange results but very heavily thinned X-26 makes the yellow more subtly orange while offering better control.
In the photo, the spoon on the left is 58 over pink surfacer, the middle is the same 58 with heavily thinned X-26, and on the right is again the same 58 with lightly thinned X-26.  
A most satisfactory test.

The next test came naturally. MrColor 58 over Tamiya X-6 applied on a pink surfacer.
Absolutely amazing! 58 was not heavily thinned but light passes were enough to brighten the orange and result in a pleasant orange/yellow (not a yellow/orange).
These two tests yielded the best results so far without paint mixes!
In the next post, I will try a couple more things and will test the paints on actual model kits.
