Color-wise this is a vivid, light orange leaning warm. For modelling, drop to Fluorescent Matt Fire Orange in the recesses and step up to Orange on the edges, both Humbrol paints. Substitutes are thinner on the ground; Tamiya Orange is the nearest same-finish option at 87 percent, with 2 brands in strong-match range. Any substitute is a mixing base rather than a drop-in, so tune it on the model.
Blaze Matt equivalents and near misses
Fair warning: nothing matches Humbrol Blaze Matt cleanly. The options below are the least bad, and every one of them drifts.
Closest Tamiya equivalent: Tamiya Orange, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 2.6).
Nearest in the Revell catalog: Revell Luminous Orange/Leuchtorange, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.0).
Best Citadel option: Citadel Troll Slayer Orange, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 4.1).
From AK Interactive: AK Interactive Deep Orange, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 4.6).
Worth knowing before you swap: Tamiya Orange runs slightly cooler and more muted, which shows most where the paint thins over raised detail.
