I don’t have the part, but the photos posted make it look to me like the blue from the part is slightly visible through the paint. So the paint in the areas in question doesn’t contain any blue.

Having said that, the two red circles highlighted in the bottom photo make it appear that the regions modeled in light blue are actually very light gray, and not quite white, since the circles highlight contrast with actual white.

Just my 2 cents.

I have the part, so I’ve been holding off commenting until I can look at it. But I lack patience, so... In my mind, I remember the part as having shades of white and grey on the questionable bits. Therefore the light blue just plain looks wrong to me. I do have the Tigura beast in front of me and it’s clearly printed with a large patch of white with a bit of the orange bleeding through from the plastic underneath. I’d model that as white, not light orange.

My guess is the extreme white you see in the picture is the same printing as the “blue-white”. It’s just brighter there because it overlaps the earlier grey printing pass. This misregistering of the printing passes will look different on every part and should not be represented in the model.

My 1 cent, for now...

(...) hm ... this is in tune with steve (initially I used light blue 9): "Yes, I think it would work better to use color 503 (light gray from Mosaic) instead of light blue.
