A friend of mine asked me to ask this question:
"Hi,
I'm doing a Hasegawa model kit that requires a colour combination of 60% of Cobalt Blue and 40% of 'H74' which is apparently 'Air Superiority Blue'. Does anyone have any idea what the acrylic equivalent might be of this H74 Air Superiority Blue is? Or any suggestions/recommendations? I think its a flanker colour as well."

Hi Jon,
I believe you're looking for an equivalent to Mr Color #74 Air Superiority Blue', not H-74, which is Sky (Duck Egg Green) in the Aqueous Hobby Color range.
Note that the "H" prefixed colors are "Aqueous Hobby Color" (acrylic) paints and the paint codes without a prefix are the "Mr Color" paints (lacquer).

At one time Polly-S had Air Superiority Blue in it's line, curiously (to me anyway) it's not one of those colors Testors did in their Modelmaster Acrylics line after they bought out Polly-S.
