Maybe some of you more experienced folks can answer this: I have noticed a 'wearing' effect on some of the earliest painted parts of my Revell 1:96 Connie (specifically the gold color on the figurehead area) which will need touch-up. This wear is apparent after continuing the build and gets exposed to some touching on the bench.  I had applied 2 coats of Testors Gold enamel. I worry that the transom may be next although no signs of wear are yet apparent here. Is that kind of wear typical or should I be using a clear sealant to protect these enamels from erosion?

I think if a part gets handled a bit over time, you will see some wear. I would hit it with some dullcoat as a clear finish. That should cure the problem.
