This is a perennial question that, until we know the paint used on the two airframes converted for the movie, will probably always be down to eye and personal preference. But I'd still like to know if anyone has found the definitive match?

 

In this FSM thread one person suggests MM Blue Angel Blue, then further down we get MM Non-Specular Blue.

 

This IPMS USA review of the Aoshima kit - a beautiful build - used MM Insignia Blue with Dark Sea Blue underside.

 

When I built a 1/72 U-2 I think I used Tamiya XF-17 Sea Blue which looks pretty good...?
