Geo, with one, relatively light coat, as seen on the model, the finish is just short of full matt, with a slight sheen - ideal for Luftwaffe and RAF (day) schemes.
In theory, further coats should provide a near full matt, or total matt finish, as would be found, for example, on the early war RAF night bomber / night fighter black finish.
Karl told me that, when applied by brush, the finish has more sheen, but still acceptable. I did some tests with a brush, and can confirm Karl's findings, after a single coat. A second, brushed-on coat gave a more matt finish - and there didn't appear to be any brush marks either.
Conclusion - I like this varnish !!!
Going to have a break now until tomorrow, as my hands are aching after trying to hold and control the airbrush, which, with my hands, is a tad difficult at the best of times !
