Revell P-47d-30 Thunderbolt, learning to research

I have a German Revell model from 2001 or so, 1/72, I wanted to find out what paints are suggested. Having just discovered Alclad Metal paints , I was very interested in planning for the mostly exposed metal of the this P-47. I had been thing of doing a metalized painted in the first place, but did not know a product. Here are some of the links I found , for the first P-47d and any paint information for that model. The discovery of Alclad paints will be great for the increased realism for any models I made with non-painted metal.
