The small dent in the wing will not be a problem unless it's caused a stress crack in the foam that your pic doesn't show. Flex it gently or simulate a flight load by holding it up by the wing tips to ensure a crack doesn't open near that dent.

The tail crack will be another issue. Flight loads will cause it to move and it will break off pretty quick. Clear packing tape might hold it for a quick repair. 5min epoxy or foam safe CA will make a good permanent fix. I might be tempted to take the fin-rudder off so I could get the stab nice and straight. Depends if you can get the fin-rudder off without dammage. Epoxy will add a significant amount of weight so check the CG again after the repair.
