Thanks, Photoworks !!
I was able to find a little time to work on this over the weekend. I got the clamp arms installed on the body and scratched the side thrusters.

Thruster side blocks and the bells with a photo of the original. Thse will get glued up after painting since masking off these shapes will be a PITA.

For the bells I found these cheap ball point pens that had removable tips that are nearly an exact match for the size and shape of the original thrusters. I glued them onto brass tubes to make them easier to work with while sanding the wide part down a bit.
