That looks the business! In my opinion, you haven't overdone anything, it looks like a working warbird. Certainly not satin for me, in fact, just to be a bit controversial, I'd leave it be. On the real thing, the dirt, cordite stains, oil, etc etc all sit on the surface of the 'plane. As long as there's no in-fixed pigments on it, I see no real need to give it an overall coating. I've stopped doing it on my AFVs, and think that they look a lot better for it, a coat of varnish homogenises all the different surface finishes and textures. Excuse me while I now run and take cover...
