I am rebuilding the 312T4 in 1/12th scale and am wondering about Tamiya's color choices.
The rear brakes intake ducts in all the 1:1 photos are semi gloss black. But Tamiya calls out a white 4 + dark yellow 1 mix.
Also the side skirts on the side pods are shown as having the same color but all the photos show those side skirts as either grey with a black trim piece on the bottom or completely black.
Do I follow the callouts or the real thing?

I've seen this discrepancy before. I think Tamiya were trying to duplicate the look of raw unpainted fibreglass. Maybe the cars appeared that way sometimes. My Fujimi Ferrari's came with clear ducts but I always just paint them black anyway
