Best of luck with the project. And, yeah, at that scale you'll need to beef up the fuselage sides and cargo bay. I even felt the need to do that when I built it in 1/96th scale.
Formers for the forward fuselage would also be helpful in 1/24th, but I don't know of any.
Keep in mind the Fortezza Orbiter has the early tail, so if you're wanting to build Atlantis on any mission from STS-66 onwards, have to alter the tail to include the drag chute housing.
