Widen the supports where they connect to the wings and ship body. An armor plate in the middle of them in that brown color and two smaller ones next to that in the grey would look nice on each wing. The armor plate would look best in the center of the gap between the ship body and wing. If you leave some supports showing between these plates to show the points where they connect to each other, the ship, and the wing, leave their color as it is. Some extra supports that are very thin on the front of the wing would function as armor to prevent the wing from being blown off easily. Just blend them in with the others.

I agree with zal there, also expand the supports as they get closer to the wing at the back coz that looks like a bit of a weak spot too.

I say make the supports brighter. Currently there doesn't seem to be anything there.

There was absolutely no reason for you to make a new thread for this. Use the reply button instead of making a new thread for every ship you make, especially when it's just a finished version of the same ship. I have merged the threads. Don't make me do this again.
