Jaws Part III: Upper Jaw

The Falcon's upper jaw is one of the more detailed parts of the miniature, with many kitbashed model parts as well as a lot of brass tubing bent into an array of pipes.  In my opinion it's one of the more memorable and iconic parts of the ship.  Here are some renders of my Falcon's upper jaw:
 
 
The beauty  renders above contain a mistake on the upper jaw that I corrected for the part map below.  If you can spot it, let me know in the comments below!  I don't have a prize to offer but you would get extra credit toward your final grade!
As you can see, there were a lot of kits used in this area.  Most of the larger pieces are from various tanks but there is a good amount of parts from the Ferrari 312B kit sprinkled throughout.  I think my favorite pieces to model were the two missile tubes from the M36 Jackson kit.

Here's a render of our progress:

Thanks for reading!
