That is one excellent brush job then.

I've never been able to do a decent gloss varnish brush job even thinned so I always use Johnsons Klear but you have to watch it as it tends to puddle on the lower side if too much applied.

After Decaling, sealing them in ans a couple of coats of Aquacolor Mat varnish, it was on with the remaining construction which was rather piecemeal and skiping back and forth in the instructions.

Starting with the main U/C.

and lower rear gunner position.

The canopy

Spinners, props, guns and front sensor.

U/C and bomb bay doors.

and various aerials etc

finishing with the wing pitot and Ezline aerial.

In summary, take care with construction where the parts are incorrectly numbered in the instructions and with test fit before committing to cement and you should have an enjoyable experience making this excellent fitting kit.

Oh, and this kit does come with an alternative canopy, if you want to save yourself a wasted couple of hours, make sure you mask the right one.

Make: Revell
Scale: 1:72
Kit Number: 03933
Model: Dornier Do17 Z-10 “Kauz”
Markings: I./NJG2, 1940
Paint Method: Brush painted
Paints Used: Revell Aquacolor thoughout.
Decals Fixing: Humbrol Decalfix
Weathering: None.
Varnishes: Humbrol Clear and Revell Aquacolor Mat Varnish, Brushpainted.
Glues: Tamiya extra thinthroughout except for, Formula 560 for clear part attachment, and CVA for the whip aerial.
Aftermaket: Xtradecal swastikas, Ezline aerial.
Scratch Build: None.

I have to say the fit of this kit was exceptional with not one bit of filler anywhere. The only difficulties were caused by the instructions mis-numbering some parts in the U/C bay construction
