The manual calls for 2 or 3 coats of varnish on the wooden parts/ribs. I did 3 coats of varnish on the ribs in the tail and it seems excessive.

I am varnishing the ribs on the wings now, and I decided that this is definitely my least favorite part.

So, curious to know....2 coats of varnish seems like plenty but wanted to get a consensus of what others did.
