HobbyBoss kit paint colours

[tonyb]

Help!
I have 2 kits by HobbyBoss in 1/72 scale and the paint guides are driving me nuts!
The first kit is of a Japanese Zero type 52 and it's telling me the main colour of this plane is 'Cockpit Colour (Mitsubish)' Mr Hobby code 124.
I can see it is a shade of green but I cannot see this paintcode on any guide I have seen.I can hazard a guess that this would be Humbrol 'Cockpit Green' but can anyone confirm this for me please?

The 2nd kit is a French D.520 in the green/brown/blue camo
The Mr Hobby code for the blue is Rim76 Light blue.Does this match Humbrols 'Aircraft Blue'?

I do wonder why these companies make things so hard!
Cheers,
Tony.

According to my infor The French paint set used from 1939 could be...

Khaki ( Khaki ) - Humbrol 26 or 155 - FS34088
Green ( Vert/Vert Fonce ) - Humbrol 76 or 172/116 - FS34079
Brow ( Terre Fonce ) - Humbrol 29 - FS30118
Light Blue-Grey ( Gris Bleu Cloir ) - Humbrol 65 - FS35189
Dark Blue-Grey ( Gris Bleu Fonce ) Humbrol 79 or 144 - FS35164
Chocolate ( Brun - Chocolat ) - Humbrol 98 - FS30045
Cockpit Interior ( Gris Bleu Ciel ) - Humbrol 115 - FS34414

Concerning the Zero...It depends on if it was Army or Navy machine.Also the period of time has to be taken into consideration. So we need more details on that.
