Depends on which brand paints you plan to use, but typically it is the same color that covers the larger area on the top. Usually a light blue.

I'm using the Hannants xtracolor enamels. They do a set of three SU 27 blues.

Thanks for the heads up, the revell instructions leave a lot to be desired.

Andy,

check out this build:

He uses Xtracolor paints. I too have those paints (if they're still good that is) and a 1/48 Su-27 in my stash.

The folks to talk to are over on aircraftresourcecenter.com, in the jet modeling forum.
If it's knowable, it's there.
There's a 99 page thread on building and detailing the Trumpeter 1/32 kit that is outright amazing.
