According to one site, cant remember which, its not supposed to be yellow on the last one.
Testors model paint
Italian Red- #28109
Hugger Orange #28108
Grabber Orange #28105
Are very close to the original colors, according to the sourse. Maybe it was 442 Bro?
It appears to be close to my new emblems, I bought it at a local hobby store, I think they had to order two of them. They came in in a week.

that is what I was thinking, i figured it should be orange as most of the old ones I see are orange, but sometimes i see yellow for the last panel. confusing if you want to get it right.
