Title: 63rd F.S. 56th Fighter Group pant match query
Post by: NARSES2 on October 19, 2014, 07:04:34 AM
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.

Azure blue *is* FS35231, and if you have a tin of Humbrol 25 it should give you a good approximation.  This swatch page (http://www.simmerspaintshop.com/page-RGB-colors-UK.html) has some pretty good translations.  Unfortunately, it doesn't list FS35052 with a description (on their US FS30000 color swatch page)
