To be honest, I'd print those underneath parts twice, and add a third layer.

When you look at the width?thickness? of the real fascia,
you can see two colours, two layers making up up about 10"-12" (250-300mm)of fascia.
So, at 1/400, it should be almost 3 cardstock thicknesses (.625-.75mm)

Unfortunately, at this scale, its just to narrow to add a real "fascia" (edge strip).
So the tabs that attach the wall to the roof... do those folks inward then? Because I've wondered about having he tabs fold outward to form the middle layer, then add the top and bottom above and below the tabs.

Also how do the 7 main roof panels attach to the walls? Tabs on the outside edges, glued to the inside of the walls?
