I'm not sure this is exactly what you are looking for, but I'm sure it is a start
As you can see, the majority of the superstructure is light grey, while the barrels on the turrets (and some other details that probably wouldn't be visable at civ-scale) are bronze/gold.
Edit: I removed the pre-refit Yamato and Musashi pics to avoid confusion. Should you however need to take another glance at the schematics, etc, they can be found at http://www.combinedfleet.com/yamato_c.htm
okay im seeing 2 different versions. The sticking point is that my model's super structure is covered in AAA turrets, while some of the pictures show 2 large turrets, possibly 6-8 inch amidships.
Most of the pics I found with the amidships turrets are the Musashi- although the birds- perspective plan also shows these on the Yamato. Apparently the Yamato underwent a massive refit in early 1944, meaning your model is the final version:
