There is some aluminum tape similar to "Flite Metal" on the plane, such as flaps, but the plane fuselage is done with "Skinni Dip" a metal finishing made by IMP years ago. The wing was painted with automotive metal silver.
There many types of aluminum tape available now on the market, I used a 12" wide roll to cover the fuselage of this Top Flite Mustang last year.
