A headlight brick on the bow piece, plate 1 x 3 AT THE HALF STUD on the
headlight brick's side stud, with a plate 1 x 1 and the
'Plate 1 x 2 with Handle' (2540), with a tile 1 x 4 on them.
I think it centers well over the gun port opening, it's close to the hull,
and it hangs down just right.
Get a good fiction contact with the plate 1 x 3's backside half stud and the
hollow side stud on the headlight brick. And have a upper plate level
cover/secure the top stud on the headlight brick.
I built it in colors, so that you could see:

| (...) A nice solution... am I right in thinking the 2x2 with handle (that holds the gunport lid) is mounted studs outward? The recolouring of the bow piece helps make the gunport look like it belongs, too. Cheers Richie Dulin (20 years ago, 1-Feb-05, to lugnet.pirates)
