The hydraulically operated bow is a pretty good fit but if you are going to display the model with it opened you need to fill all the mould-pin marks on the inside faces. If (like me) you are going to keep it closed then don't bother with all the cylinders as you won't see them and it will save a few hours construction time.
I'll glue the lower bow plate to the hull as the four pins that secure it are tiny and will not stand any stress putting on them, however to aid painting the upper plate will be left moveable.
Fantastic stuff Andy.
