The matt varnish gives the effect I was looking for - military aircraft aren't usually shiny! - and if you don't look too closely the paint is okay (only a little wobbly in a few places).Having never put transfers on a model before I can agree with Mr M that they really do add a large amount of detail for not much effort. They give the model a sense of completeness and makes the whole thing look a bit more real, even in miniature!
Even with my dusting mistakes with the varnish, it has given the wanted effect and only in the small cracks where the varnish had pooled was there any discolouration from too much varnish.
All in all this is a nice turn out to this model, and I'm a little proud of it!
