Hey guys!
I've had a bit of a search on the forum and am a bit overwhelmed. So please forgive me for asking a common question.
I've come to the point on my Albatross build that the instructions simple say "Varnish Hull". Brilliant. That's all it gives me.
I currently live in Australia and am seeking a good varnish for finishing the hull of my build:

What varnish do people suggest? Do i thin down the coats? I'm guessing sanding between coats obviously, but di i thin the varnish to begin with?
I worked on a tall ship last summer and used a non synthetic oil varnish called Dek Solije, it's a two parter, part one is a matte undercoat, and part two a gloss overcoat. It leaves wood looking gorgeous. Unfortunately my cheap Destructo kit isn't a top deal of wood quality, but i'm still tempted to use it. Here it is:

I could probably borrow a bit
But if anyone else suggests some nice simple varnish i can purchase off the shelf then i'm happy to use that instead.
Thanks for any pointers, much appreciated!
