Japanese F/A-16XL "Taifun" (Typhoon) anti-shipping aircraft

About the second and third pictures further above in my earlier Post # 2 -
The 2nd pic is of the real Japanese F-2B prototype aircraft. The 3rd pic is a model of the same prototype.
After digging around the Net a bit more, especially on the F-16.net website, the Japanese F-2A and F-2B prototypes were the only aircraft to wear the overall blue color on top and the overall white color on the bottom. At least as far as I've been able to determine.
As far as the blue color is concerned, I did some more digging on the Scalemates website. Hasegawa made 1 or 2 model kits of the F-2 prototype aircraft. According to the instructions for the model, they call the blue color for the top of the aircraft "Shallow Ocean Blue".

So I think what I've suggested for "light blue" paints might work out ok.
So the F-16XL I'm building won't be an operational squadron aircraft. Instead, it'll be built and painted to be a prototype for evaluation by the Japanese Air Self Defense Force.
