Last order for the Falcon Rebuild!

I have begun the final push to complete the Falcon before May the Fourth!

According to my notes I have 99.65% of all the parts I need, the only ones I'm missing are 8 3x3 round corner plates (Part 30357). I was suppose to get 16 of them in my last order but the seller contacted me to say they had an inventory error and only had 8. Given that my part counts on this project have been conically wrong, I had to sympathize with them.

So today when I got a 10% off coupon from another seller (Thanks iamklasick) I had purchased from, I went ahead and got the final parts (I hope MY counts are right). 

Here is the latest shots I have on the progress:

Now with side access hatches!
I also picked up Set 75136 Droid Escape Pod mainly because I wanted C3P0 for the Falcon (why didn't they include him in UCS set?) and I like the newer paint job they are doing for R2.

It actually is a pretty cool little set in its own right, 4 minifigs, lots of details on the escape pod itself and neat little hidden compartment for the Death Star plans.
