Testors makes the colors for the MiG-29.

Go to the Model Master Paints booth at a hobby shop and they have them...

I checked a Russian MiG 29UB in '92 at Damgarten, East Germany, with my FS
fandeck on the skin of the aircraft. My matches were 36375 and 24233
(actually 34233, being mat) for the camouflage, 26132 for the radome
and dielectric panels, 36375 for the landing gear leg and wheel wells. The
wheels were a very typical kind of green that has no FS match.

Having seen a couple up at Harrisburg my best guess for the wheels was
Humbrol's Grass which is a railway colour. I'd have no idea what to use
in acrylics.

Testors Model Master line has both the Grey and Grey/Green for the
fulcrum. These are more or less matched to FS 26440 and 24233 (I
think, I don't have my references at hand right now). Both colors seem
semigloss, but of course they will turn dull on a weathered plane.

For the Grey you can use a number of paint brands (Gunze, Humbrol
ecc.) as it's a widely available color (maybe you just have to fix the
gloss of flat hue) but the Grey/Green is only available from Testors
model master.

Btw. Others, such as Rob, indicates FS 36375 (or 26375) as the right
color for the grey: maybe it's that one on the real, factory fresh,
plane. However this color seems to fade quickly and considering scale
effect (and the fact that successive weathering will darken the paint
a bit) I think FS 26440 is more appropriate (but this is just my
personal point of view).

I use instead FS 36375 for the cockpit (others prefer a slightly more
blueish color), xtracolor soviet radome/wheel hub green for the wheels
(or the old, almost unfindable "Red Paint" radome green, I still have
one bottle of it) and FS 36118 for the radome and other dielectric
areas (on top of the fins and fuselage).
