Hello,
I've just bought a tamiya 1:20 Brabham BT50 kit, and I need help with but one thing :
The side pod's under-surface... what colour is it?
The instructions do specify to "paint the center section of under surface white", and the sort-of wheel guard in semi-gloss black, but there's no instruction as for the underside of the pods. Can anyone help with this?

On the acctual car they are carbon fiber, so if you are not using carbon fiber decals then I would paint them semi-gloss black.
Here is a good reference to a Brabham BT49...not exactly the same car(differnt engine) but body materials is mostly the same, i think
