In this stage, I used rattle can black (dont remember the brand), followed by Humbrol MetalCote color and for the brighter spots Vallejo Acrylyc Metals. Especially those are brilliant to brushpaint with AND you can achieve great results.

Ladder frame is in progress, it will be a bit lighter because the original Duesis were build on an alloy frame.

:lashed: thanks!

Not much time to model these days, so theres only this effort by now: painted the interior in a shabby grey plus instrument panel got a repaint with Humbrol & Vallejo paints (its chrome plated).

Dry fit looks good so far.
