Marlboro Yamaha YZR500 color question

What is the correct red (orange) color for the Marlboro Yamaha YZR500 (OW70). Instructions calls for red, but I seem to recall the correct color is more towards flourescent orange. Any input is appreciated.

Hi

It is fluo red as used in F1 on McLarens from 1976 to 1996. The correct colour is known as RAL3024. You can get it in modelform from variuos sources like Zero paints (Hiroboy.com) og Finisher (Rainbow Ten) - and more.

Use the 0.6mm wire for hang gliders for the brake wire of a front.
distinguishing by different color with -- it is the specification color's having been disregarded
and having used fluorescence red
Although discovered for the first time, a fluorescence color is deteriorating in a bright color,
when topcoat is covered.

Ermmm what question matches this? I don't get it?

Thanks for the replies - and confirming what I thought was the right color.

You could use the RAL3024,the regular Fluorescent red or the MP4 red intended for the McLaren F1 cars but equally suitable for the bike you are building.All are available at www.hiroboy.com in the basecoat paints section.

Ole,
Definatley flo red - as for the Mclarens. I used Tamiya's TS36 on my Roberts bike, but this was a few years ago and there's other products available now. These decals are S27.

Note that the TS36 matches the red flash just beneath the 'Marlboro's '.
