Model Master 1741 is Dark Ghost Gray
On my Humbrol color conversion chart taken from the Humbrol brochure the closest color to this straight from the bottle is #128
here is a link to the chart.. I find it very useful to have a printout of it handy

also on the Urban Fredriksson's color reference charts (pretty comprehensive charts for color comparions) The Soviet section lists colors used for various types of aircraft.. here are a few of the mixes for humbrol..
Medium Grey... standard topside scheme for all single seat fighters from 1944 onwards
9 parts Hu:34 plus 2 parts Hu 28 plus 1 part hu:156
Dark sea grey standard topside scheme for singe seat fighters from 1944 onwards and single color winter schemes 1 part Hu:156 plus 1 part Hu:34 or tamiya XF-53
for Su-24MR or Mig-25RBK Grey Hu:127
Mig 23UB Blue Grey 7 parts Hu:87 plus 3 parts Hu:34 or tamiya XF-66
Mig29 Light Grey Hu:147
