I'm looking for the best Testors or Model Master spray paint color to use for German Panzer Dunkelgelb. None of the hobby stores I go to stock it, or seem to know of them making a color by that particular name. Is there another color that is close enough to use?

I've tried that. It works great for the North Africa version but I'm wondering if it's appropriate for the European ambush camo scheme.

That's the closest Testors spray can I can think of. Testors also has all three in the colors in screw top bottles. You can always compare Africa Mustard against Dunkelgelb and Dunkelbraun.

If your local hobby shops don't have it, are you open to mail order? Then try Tamiya TS-03, Dark Yellow.
