and glued it into the ring i put into the gondola to reduce the size of the opening.

Karl,

the retactable step doesn't seem to be painted in the same way the Fw190A one was. I have found a couple of pictures of it and it seems to be either of bare metal ( aluminium ) colour with the bottom part of the undersides paint or it was of the RLM02 with the stirrup of the undersides one.
