The biggest build I’ve done to date, the 1/72 Airfix Dambuster Lancaster. Kit was very easy to put together without much manipulation. I am impressed with the details of it, especially the little map on the navigators table and all the internals inside the wheel well. One day I will invest in an airbrush, but slowly getting better with my brush painting, gloss coat is not strictly realistic but it sure makes it look good!

Nice brushwork, but as you say, the gloss isn't how they were. Looks a bit odd to most of us, I would think. You couldn't do a matte spray before adding the canopy and other "Perspex" parts? Those work awfully well these days.
