It's been a while but i think the name changed for the product and it's not Future anymore, but any clear acrylic floor "wax" is pretty much the same thing.

While I'm not sure how well it would work on a plastic model, Krylon makes something called Workable Fixative that might protect it without being invasive like some of the other suggestions. It's used to seal drawings (like charcoal and graphite), but you can work over it afterwards. Might test it, because I suspect it would be a much more subtle sealant.
Or, you can get a pellet gun and destroy your model ship like it's supposed to be destroyed.
Edit: it can be used for plastic....

That workable fixative may be decent. What kind of solvent is it based on?
