Thank you my fellow modelers!
@OttovonLindberg I used RAL7028 Dunkelgelb aus' 44DGI from Ammo by Mig (A.MIG-011).

Thank you. I tried using Vallejo Model Corp Dark Yellow (70.978, RAL7028) but it looked more green then yellow, it was way off. Have you ever tried hand brushing Ammo paints?

Yes, I painted the tires on the roadwheels by brush. Ammo paints can be brush painted but some of them are too thin out of the bottle (yet too thick to airbrush). For brush painting I like the AK 3rd Gen and the Vallejo more.

You could also try the AK Real Colors. Their RAL7028 is quite good (for brush paint)

@Martin Is there any way to "thicken" the paint for hand brushing? I Hase the same Problem with Vallejo Air. How do the AK 3rd Gen compare to Vallejo?

@olivier Aren't those lacquer based and come pots? Seems like a lot of work tbh.

@OttovonLindberg that's a good question. Ammo has its own paint retarder which is quite thick compared to the paint itself. I haven't tested yet but maybe it could thicken the paint a bit.
As I see it the AK 3rd Gen is quite good for brush painting. It is thinner than a Vallejo Panzer Aces one but You still need to thin a little before brush application.
And somehow the paint and its medium don't separate in the bottle which is the case with the Ammo Mig and with Vallejo.
