Just got round to rebuilding this one, and much of the work was based on the model pic, so hence it demanded a little rescaling... More renders soon:

Looks really good, I like it. This reminds me to continue work on my Niagara.
BTW, does this ship have an impulse drive? As far as I remember, they forgot to add one to the studio model.

Mabye add the side and forward ACL to brighten up the saucer some. While I didint go for the canon look on my own Freedom, I think there's room for a small pair of impulse engines on either side of the neck on the saucer's ventral side.
You making the connie torp launcger (waaay overscaled here into the ship's deflector? The Intrepid's deflector emitter fits perfectly into that space (with no scaling even!).

As far as I'm aware this ship has no deflector, it uses what ever subtle (or invisible) system the Miranda and Constellation uses. Indeed, I have mounted on the nacelle a torpedo launcher array instead.
There may yet be impulse engines on the Freedom, as seen in the below image (seen alongside my old Freedom model). I can't determine this for certain, but I was tinkering with the idea of adding them (in this fashion) to the model.

IIRC the Firebrand has a secondary navdef in the lower saucer section.

Who can say? The schematics from Fact Files and STTM are waaay off in the bridge area so the rest is highly questionable as well.

Well, yeah, but we have a ventral photo of the Firebrand...
Make of that lump what you will. It looks a bit like the quantum torp launcher of the Sovereigns, even.
Anyway, if that is a secondary deflector, where is the primary unit? The odd protrusion below the nacelle, perhaps? The saucer doesn't have the "auxiliary deflector" insets that a Galaxy kitbash would have.

Any specs on what that little thing at the bottom of the nacelle is for... it has windows!

Awesome work. I too would be in favor of adding a single impulse engine at the top of the neck right under the saucer. The graveyard photo of it would certainly allow for something to be there. So unless there is something else that would contradict that, that's where I would put it.
