TIE/SF paint color

By clanofwolves, in X-Wing Painting and Modification

Hey artists, what citadel paint color is the TIE/SF red? I’m gonna do my TIE/FOs with a red quarter cockpit too.

...or other manufacturers I just have seen these at my LGS, and another brand I think?

I did some TIE/FO Fighters with TIE/SF red markings a while back using Citadel's Layer Wazdakka Red.

For filling in a First Order cockpit I mix Tamiya gloss acrylic X-1 Black with Tamiya gloss acrylic X-7 Red (I do not have a specific ratio, just sorta add a little red until it comes out right).

Edit: Humorously enough, despite having just told you to use Wazdakka Red, the above TIE/FO Aggressor is quarter-cockpitted with Citadel's Layer Wild Rider Red...I guess that gives you a good line of comparison for the two colors anyway...
