If that's correct, then, Finally, been waiting for Tamiya to do the 312b. No more ridiculous prices on the bay for me then. I sense a bulk buy coming up:love.
Just checked, you are absolutely right mate. HLJ have it listed as a pre-order with 20% off up till Feb 22nd. Re-issued with photo-etch parts & what they call a 'spot production'. Maybe a limited edition.

Excellent job Craig, thanks. 
That fills in alot of queries.
I've also realised I didn't add in the 1/25 Kenworth 'Movin On/Alaskan Hauler chassis which run along the mandible sides so will sort that when I add in your ID's.
Still can't believe how much of the Old girl we've managed to map since we started. Impressive team work, most impressive...
Cheers

I'll be making those Kettenkrad, 8rad and Matilda groups at some point soon. I know the P-51 is on the reverse section but what is this part?
And does anyone have the Tamiya Bismarck to confirm this piece next to the Sealab? It's not my map, don't know where it came from. :lol

Good to see those engine bits I had in mind ARE 312B. God I have to get that kit.
Oh actually there's a bunch of Panther on the port side too. These mosaics are great fodder for full mandible-side "official" maps with EVERYTHING thrown in - Nick - hint hint.
That's a mantlet on the bottom of the port-side Entex rotary, right?

Craig the 1/24 P-51D part is actually from the 1/24 Hurricane. The part must be cut here and there though, here is a pic of the complete part:
You can see it here with a lot of casting bubbles in one of the access bays of the
top fuselage:

I haven't been able to find a kit scan of the Tamiya 1/700 Bismarck to confirm that part but it is the only part I am missing to ID from the cockpit side mandible:facepalm apart from some missing stuff. I'll keep looking into it and I'll let you know.

Indeed, as you've seen I'm heading towards fewer, mosaic type maps with more info. Just got to get a trade off in images that are manageable but still allow folks to get a close look at the individual parts as well as an overview of ID's across a section. Next chance I get will do some more updates. Keep 'em coming...

Rod & Craig, incredible part maps work fella's. Just shows how much this Panther donated it's parts to.
Rod, that M23 part #17, wow, I'd wanted to know that for ages & it's been under my nose all the time!. Sometimes you just can't see the woods for the tree's!.
The wait for the 312b's is gonna kill me now, ah well!.
Guy's, I now have a contact in Japan that can track down the harder to find kits through the local auction sites etc... . If there is anything you guy's want he may be able to get it for you. LMK.
Incredibe work here chaps, well done!.

Thanks.
Here's what I have for missing pieces on the starboard side. Also spotted another 8ton on the port side. Rod, you have the third cylinder marked blue in your image but I think it's from the McLaren? Sorry, don't have the kit in hand yet.
OK, edited in the port side! I also have a theory that a Ferrari engine bit was at one point glued under the Sealab. No photo evidence, but the glue marks match perfectly. Hmmm...

I'd just like to comment on kit 7 above: there was no tamiya sherman in 1/35 scale that had these parts back in those days. They made an m4a3e8 that had different suspension parts. These are probably from the M36 or M10.

That's right Scott. Those suspension parts can be found on both Tamiya kits, M10 and M36 Jackson.
The suspension of the 1/35 Tamiya Sherman is similar to the Hasegawa 1/72 Sherman used in the X-Wing and in the Docking rings of the 5 footer. What I am not sure about is if the Sherman Suspesion used on top of the Centurion chassis behind the rear landing gear of the 5 footer is the Tamiya 1/35 M4A3E8 Sherman N°18 or a bigger scale tank :confused

Craig, I don't think those parts listed as being from the Tamiya Panther ausf A on your starboard parts map are right mate. I can't find anything that looks correct in the kit. The part that looks like a cutting tool is too small anyhoo.
I'll keep looking
