Buddy of mine just got back from a trip to Italy. I ordered up a 1/16 Swiss Guardsman I am planning on building for him. . Instructions say Tamiya flat red, flat blue and flat yellow. Anybody have thoughts on better options for the colors? I know the yellow is off. Actual color has an orange lean to it.

Maybe time to start mixing paint.
Some red added to the yellow for instance.

That outfit just needs a cap with bells on it to be complete
