How would one best, correctly, replicate it? 
English Electric Canberra in natural metal?

Can't remember seeing any in natural metal - in 'High Speed Silver' yes.
The paint can be simulated by adding a very small amount of gloss white to silver paint, or choosing a semi - matt silver.
Alternatively it's available in enamel from Xtracolor, and may be in the Xtracrylic range too.

Ah, then there's a choice of many paint types, including the AK Xtreme Metal range ( be careful !), the fairly new Vallejo range, and of course Alclad.
Or my old method, Revell Silver No.90 enamel, onto polished plastic buffed with aluminium finger printing powder, and re-buffed as required when the paint is dry.

I imagine that there were panels made from different materials as well, or?

More than likely. So use either different shades from the ranges mentioned, or add a drop of white/grey/blue/black/brown to create subtle differences with silver paint.

Looks like lots of straight lines Jan. Mask some panels, mix up your Vallejo metals and spray away...

Yes, at least the tail fin and rudder were made of wood!
