No shortage of substitutes here, Dark Rust from AK Interactive matches at 84 percent and 3 brands carry a strong same-finish near-match. Orange Oxide is a very dark vivid red with a warm undertone. Within the Monument Pro Acryl range it ladders cleanly, Burnt Red for the shadows and Warm Brown for the highlights. Bottom line: run out mid-project and another brand will get you within a shade.
Orange Oxide equivalents in other ranges
Orange Oxide is awkward to replace. Treat the matches below as starting points for a mix rather than straight swaps.
Closest AK Interactive equivalent: AK Interactive Dark Rust, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.1).
From Tamiya: Tamiya Mahogany, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.5).
The P3 Paints pick: P3 Paints Basilisk Brown, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.8).
Nearest in the Two Thin Coats catalog: Two Thin Coats Berserker Red, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 4.2).
The drift here is spread thinly across hue, lightness and saturation rather than leaning one way, so the mismatch reads as a general haze at delta E 3.1 rather than an obvious shift.
