Tamiya Dark Yellow is Humbrol 84 or Humbrol 83 depending on which chart you look at. I'd hold em up next to each other go with one. As I've seen stated in threads before the weather plays a big part in fading and altering the appearance of the paint and also the mixing process changed so much depending on the availability of resources that the color tone can change from one vehicle to another.
IMHO if you get close, you're right on.

Keep asking - and when your dio is done - don't hesitate to keep building armor!
