It looks like they did!

Thanks for sharing, the historical cars are very interesting. You have good observation on the details, I cannot even tell where is the blue you are talking about!

Blue is the rollbar above the drivers head. The interior of the cockpit. And the mounting of the engine.

These pictures of the model car probably show you what i mean.

If you check the links of the original car, you will see these are also blue.

Most other honda race cars are white in those place, and on the model car it really stands out.
I thought it looked out of place on the modelcar, but it appears to be correct.
