No varnish, it s not waterproof.
Taz:
The large piece of fabric from Fok.D.VII(OAW)4490/18 was varnished. the remnents are still there. Look at the white border on the cross. The B.V.L specifically requires the fabric to be waterproofed by using varnish over the last coat of dope or paint. I believe Alan is in error here. All German aircraft had to be waterproofed, inside and out. Varnish was the method. On painted camouflage surfaces, if sufficient coats of paint were applied and the surface was sealed, it did not require varnishing.
