Awesome update, Q!
I'm digging this project, superb!
And You've done a really good job sanding the added panels down_ they do really look smooth and like a part of the ship.
One thing I might recommend You, since You're pretty much approaching the painting stage, and still have almost 2 months of time:
there are some areas on this ship where You've added the panels, but which are quite hard to sand due to their positions. After applying the primer, You might see the borders around those panels are standing out a bit. I might suspect that, for ex., from the area on the side edge of the bay (fig.1). So You might want to add some styrene scrap there, like raised elements and some radiolocation stuff e.t.c whatever that'll be. Thus You'll achieve 2 goals - hiding the rough edges and adding extra detalisation to look great under the whash.
Anyway, this looks outstanding!
P.S: and the red lights inside the bays. VERY cool looking. and brings to me the memories about babylon 5. Nice light color choice!
