Thank you both!
I have to say that at 1:50 scale, it is a bit challenging (especially when it comes to implementing the finer details and greebles).

Here is another small update.

These are the parts for the sponsons (Pulsar Laser Cannons system).

The sponsons (Pulsar Laser Cannons system) are assembled. I also raised some of the details.
I have to say that (at this scale) these are very fiddly. So, take your time while you are assembling them. Not only that, but be prepared to print out new parts, because it is very easy to rip/tear the parts.

Here is the canopy.

I adhered the canopy parts to large sticky/packing labels.

Then cut the parts out that needed "windows" and attached them to both sides of clear acetate.
