Can anyone point me in the direction of the correct yellow paint for MU cab ends? I've a couple I need to patch up. It's definitely not the Revel 12 acrylic as I've just discovered to my horror!

Railmatch 2202 is acrylic Warning Yellow, that's the one in my box anyway.
Hope that helps.

If it moves and shouldn't, duct tape. It it doesn't move and should, WD40...

2202 is only correct paint if modelling post 1984 .if before number RM304 is correct

It totally varies on models (and on the real thing to a degree). Some are very "lemony" whilst others are a much richer orangey colour. Something like many of the Dapol 153s, for example, are a totally different colour.

yellow is a bugger to match too, get a few shades and be prepared to do some mixing!
