I am sure i have seen somebody posting pictures not of an over, but something used to dry food, but i can not remember who that was. but it was being used to get the paint dry quicker, i think.

Got it: Found a video on YT for how to use a Dehydrator for drying paint and I am fascinated. Next I will buy a Dehydrator! ^-^

I assume you want something to make enamel paint dry faster Liane? If so I'm not sure how enamel paint would react to being in a dehydrator. Maybe it would just dry the surface of the paint, leaving it liquid inside.
Alternately…..you could do what many modellers do and have more than one build at the same time so when the paint is drying on one, you could be working on another model.
Or you could do what others do, including myself, you could use acrylic paint which drys much faster.

Hey gorby! Thank you for your reply!
I understand you so far, but no, I won't use enamel paints anymore. I used it a very lot in my childhood and I always hated them coz of lack of details going down under them. Meanwhile I ordered an used Dehydrator and I will make some pictures of how I change it for fitting the parts in it.
Why I'm doing this?
Now it is my last week of vacancy and I'm a (in proper us-english) female semi truck driver in Germany (driving a Mercedes Actros with a long 40 Ton Tri-Axle Tipper-Trailer for scrap), so I have to work mostly from the night to the early evening. It is a very hard and much time consuming job I got.
In conclusion to this and coz I use mostly 2-4 layers of (airbrushed) paint - best example now is my chassis from the Pontiac with 4 layers meanwhile - it is very hard to cure them in a passable time. I painted my chassis around 2-3 days before and it is still a bit, how can I say, just touch dry. But you can feel it is still weak/soft paint.
So, in other words my goal is to dry may layers and parts in general much more efficient and of course faster because my life & space time is purely limited for let's say 1 hour per evening. That is really not satisfying to me. ^-^
PS: I'm using acrylic paints from Vallejo and Tamiya, only.
