x wing colour help?

[talktalk]

Hi there,starting to paint up my pro shop x wing,i'm doing red 5,i was wondering what colour the stripe on the middle top of the fusalage is that runs from the nose to the cockpit?,is this yellow or random tan,it's just in some pictures it looks very yellow,and in others it looks a bit lighter like random tan or is it neither!!!,any help would be great,Thanks.

Debated topic... Go with what YOU think it should be.

Here's my Pro-Shop Red 5 to give you an idea; stripe is yellow ochre:

Thanks,i'll play around with some colors,your x wing looks awesome,great for some reference,i also had the idea of mounting the model on the old tie fighter base....nice touch:love

Thanks! I've used the TIE base for a studio scale X as well. Works pretty well.
