Looks very stealthy. I'd clear it if i were you. You might want to polish it a bit more before you clear it.

It's dull because The paint is shrinking and curing!
Clearing it won't help that orange peel. Trust me that's orange peel It happens to all my models. That is what my SAS 350Z looked like. With a lot of patience and caution it can be taken care of. With my Z I sanded with 3m 2000 grit being careful not to rub through paint. After the orange peel is gone and whole paintjob looks dull. I polished it all out with meguiars automotive wax and I recieved a shine. If your gonna do this make sure you have enough paint on so that you don't rub through it. I put about three wet coats or 2 I forgot. I'm paranoid of rubbing though paint, better safe than sorry.  And when putting a lot of paint you have to make sure you don't put too much or it will run.

well i always use tamiya ts colours, and have never needed to polish them before, i always spray a "dust" coat, just enuf to give a thin finnish, leave 5 mins to get tacky, then spray a wet coat on nice and shiny, 30 mins more, another wet coat, 30 mins another wet coat then just keep spraying till its covered and shiny. leave for 2 days or more. the most i ever do is use an "oaklys sunglasses polish cloth" on ot, its so fine but makes a great shine.
