Here are a couple more pieces that have fallen off the mandible. If anyone has a better pic, I'd appreciate it.

Sledge-hammer!

Looks like the missing one from the top of the hull.

Hard to see a clear image of this piece. I'm guessing the Tamiya 1/35 Panther. Thoughts?

Maybe you fill find more information on this page Sideview Falcon t2sides. What a fantastic model Sean has buildt.

Amen to that!
He also used a part in one of the respective areas that looks like Airfix Messerschmitt, part #36:

Looks perfect to me John. A good way to get the overall length of the mandible inner wall.
Nice update.

Not used on the Falcon, but I added a scan of this one

Added the Frog Westland Wyvern to everything.
Added the Tamiya Ferrari 312 B to everything.

Fixed a typo on my port outer mandible map. Had numbers reversed. It's fixed now and on my drive

What do you guys use to adhere your parts for casting. I've been using double-sided tape with mixed results.

I CA my parts to foamcore. It works really well for me. The parts are nice and flat and all I have to sand off is a thin layer of paper.
