Academy 1/72 F-16 A

[Tomppa B]

I am also going to build the Academy YF-16. I was thinking of doing it in the two tone colour scheme. The blue is supposed to be Air superiority blue and the other is some kind of off white. Bill Gunston says in Modern Combat Aircraft 16 that it is "Wimbledon White". It was a Ford colour from the 60's used on the Ford Mustang. But I can't find it anywhere. The Academy instructions give the FS code as FS17773. I found a site where its RGB code was given as 230, 234, 225. In Windows Word the colour looks like a very pale greenish colour. Whereas Wimbledon White looks like a very pale cream or tan. Is there any close approximations among the "usual suspects" that is colour manufacturers?

Disregard the above, I found "Wimbledon White". It can be found at Gravity colors. Here: https://gravity-colors.com/model-car-paints/ford-wimbledon-white/
