So what paints are you gonna use? Model Master was the only one that I know of that had the actual Blue Angels colors.

This works for me. I use to use Model Master Blue Angel Blue but that company is defunct.

Blue Angels Blue is FS15050. Any of these paints will do:
Humbrol 190 Blue Angels Blue
Humbrol 15 Midnight Blue
Tamiya X-3 Royal Blue
Gunze/Mr. Color 5 Gloss Blue
Gunze/Mr. Color 328 Blue
Check your local Hobby Lobby for Testors rattlecan #1972 Blue Angels Blue
Hobby Lobby carries Testors line spray cans and square bottles (#1511 or #1772)
MCW Finishes also has them. Great paint!

I used the Humbrol Midnight Blue with Model Master Blue Angels Yellow on my Hornet build last year
