P-51 wing lacquer paint

Anyone have a recommendation for the silver lacquer used on the P-51’s wings? I am buying tamiya p-51D as a Tuskegee airmen bird. I plan to use Alclad aluminum for the NMF but was looking for recommendation on the wing color

Tamiya Lacquer Gloss Aluminum might work well.

I used AK Xtreme metal paints: Polished aluminium, white aluminium and steel on my F-6D:

Wings generally are painted white aluminium but flaps and ailerons I painted polished aluminium.

This stuff looks to be perfect

I used the gloss aluminum lacquer on parts of my current Thunderstruck project and it sure looks the part of aluminum lacquer that I’ve seen on actual aircraft in person.
