IJAAF trainer "orange" & "orange/yellows" in general - pt.4

And here are the results of the final tests.
This time, I first applied pink surfacer on the wings of an old Hasegawa Zero, then painted the port wing in MrColor58 "orange yellow" and the starboard in Tamiya X-6 "orange".
You can clearly see the difference. 


The next image shows the port wing with heavily thinned Tamiya X-26 "clear orange" applied from a distance over MrColor58.
The starboard wing has averagely thinned MrColor58 airbrushed from a distance over Tamiya X-6.
As you can see in the result, the paints got closer. The only difference is that the X-26 gives more tonal variation and makes the overall surface more interesting.
I guess the same can be achieved with the 58-over-X-6 combination with some practice. It's important to apply the top coats from a distance otherwise you'll get too yellow or too orange spots.
Finally, I airbrushed, straight from the bottle (no thinner),  the "recently" released "orange" Shader by Mig-AMMO over MrColor58 (over pink surfacer).
Excellent results, similar to the Tamiya X-26 over MrColor58 combination. 
The Shader series is highly recommended. Every time I used the paints, I got great results with very little effort.
