One of the Revell 1/72 P-47M boxings comes with 63rd F.S. 56th Fighter Group markings. Now it quotes FS 35052 and FS 35231 for the 2 blues on the upper surfaces. Using IPMS Stockholm I come up with Non Spec Sea Blue and Azure Blue as the nearest matches out of the pot.

Just wondered if anyone can confirm/correct my assumptions or offer alternatives ?

I don't fancy going down the mixing route so I'm looking for out of the pot.
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Azure blue *is* FS35231, and if you have a tin of Humbrol 25 it should give you a good approximation.  This swatch page has some pretty good translations.  Unfortunately, it doesn't list FS35052 with a description (on their US FS30000 color swatch page)
