For whatever reason the "control+n" functionality to calculate which way the faces should point (their normals) doesn't always work for entire meshes when a lot of faces overlap and aren't necessarily connected. What you can try is to just select the individual components (the main body, the tube/leg things) and try control n again, or open the w menu and select flip normals.
EDIT: If you are unaware, you can save time doing this by using "control +" and "control -" on the numpad after selecting a vertex, and you'll select/deselect its neighbors. Very helpful when individual meshes don't connect!
Blender will actually show you when you are looking at the 'inside' of an object with shading:
The one on the left is inside out!
The difference can be subtle, and if you really want to be sure, select the face in question and change the direction space to "Normal":
The z axis for a face points in the direction that the face faces, so here we see it is pointing into the cube. If I exported to supcom, it would only be visible from the other side.
