Hi Dave
Nice to see someone taking up the small modeling details that most people miss. Could you post some pics here or on your website?
FYI, the straps are part of the Falcon Up structural mod - on the Block 40, it's called ECP (Engineering Change Proposal) 1966, while on the A/Bs it's termed ECP 4087/4088 (yup - it's now applicable to all pre-Block 50 airplanes). The straps themselves have LM part numbers in the 16B5909-XX range. Now you can put this info on your instruction sheet!
Cheers
