As a kid, I had a number of Dinky Toys, which sadly, I did not look after.
I have now decided to replace them, and purchased a Mighty Antar (see pic below, not my pic or model)

I need to repaint it, any ideas on the colour of that paint, and where I can get it, assuming it's not a standard model paint?

Your starting point for the Dinky Antar is RAL 6003 (that's closest RAL match to the inside, ie unweathered, paint on an original model)

You should be able to plug that into here:

and get some alternative paints/brands.
