Luminous Red/Leuchtrot sits in the red family: mid-tone in tone, vivid in saturation, warm in cast. For modelling, drop to Carmine Red (RAL 3002) in the recesses and step up to Luminous Orange/Leuchtorange on the edges, both Revell paints. Luminous Red/Leuchtrot is a little less common: the closest same-finish match, Humbrol Signal Red, reaches 85 percent, and 2 other brands carry a strong same-finish alternative. Cross-brand swaps are adjust-on-model territory here, useful as a starting point rather than an exact replacement.
Luminous Red/Leuchtrot equivalents in other ranges
Luminous Red/Leuchtrot is awkward to replace. Treat the matches below as starting points for a mix rather than straight swaps.
Closest Humbrol equivalent: Humbrol Signal Red, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.1).
From Monument Pro Acryl: Monument Pro Acryl Pyrrole Red, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.6).
Citadel's closest color: Citadel Jokaero Orange, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 4.3).
Nearest in the AK Interactive catalog: AK Interactive Cadmium Red, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 4.9).
Check it on a spare model first, because Humbrol Signal Red sits clearly warmer and more saturated than the original and the difference grows over large flat panels.
