References always help - a photo on Flickriver

            Major John Elliot's  "Official Monogram U. S. Navy & Marine Corps Aircraft Color Guide", "volume 3", is a superb color reference, including both the official orders illustrations of what they meant, and noting some of the wide range of unofficial or semi-official stuff going on. Blue Angels colors for example. Elliot includes the mixing proportions used for Grumman to repaint the F9F Cougars that the F11Fs replaced- I choose to believe that the Tigers got the same color, or close to it. The Blues had the Grumman paint shop mix White with Insignia Blue. Nothing harder than that, and it looks lovely when you're done. Elliot gives the proportions of white and blue but since you're unlikely to be mixing the same kind of lacquer Grumman was using, they're only a starting point. The color density of your model paint may be very different from 1950s lacquer.

"Cockpits Of The Cold War", photos by Daniel Nijboer, has a large, lovely, color photograph of the cockpit of an F11F.

Bunrin-do's "Famous Aircraft of the World F11F Tiger" has mostly Japanese text but the photographs and drawings communicate in any language. 

Not pictured, "The Grumman F11F Tiger In Detail & Scale", -Kintzey et al,  "Naval Fighters: Grumman F11F Tiger", - Steve Ginter; magazines and cockpits photos I found on the internet.
