Pedro,
With oils it seems easy. The blue crosses should be painted with Ceruleum Blue Hue.
I think it is gonna be so close that you couldn't see the difference.

Hi Pedro

perhaps I understand it in another way as Marc

First something to the shoulders straps. The colour is matt grey with silver. In your example the black and white stripes stands for Prussia. That colour changes for every German country. Bavarian officers had for example blue and white stripes. In normal cases the sign for the aviator troops is bronze. But there exist some in matt silver.

In normal cases the collar insignia are matt silver too.

Hi Ulrich!

Here´s the same picture with other crosses.
The (red cross) are matt grey with silver that´s ok I understand, like the collar insignia, but you see the small dots (blue cross) this small dots are white sewn on top of the field grey or am I wrong?
Many many thanks for the feedback much appreciated!(y)
 
There are "only" two possibilities: Silver or gold. I would choose silver for your "Litze". The silver or gold stripes are part of the "Litze" (Embroidered cloth bars)

Hi Ulrich!

I think I will paint the Embroidered cloth bars with silver grey with small dot of white to give more contrast.;)
Many thanks for your info.
