Onto the front section - Not a good fit at all around the headlights (pic1), I did start to sand this flush but promptly stopped as I could see the shape would end up not at all right. Instead i've gone for the putty alternative. First of all I added a thin strip of 10thou sheet to the edge where it meets the main bodywork (pic2). The reason for this is to maintain a crisp edge - something you cant achieve by slapping putty straight on there. Once you have built up a small amount of putty to this edge you can sand flush when dry (pic3). It still need a little tidying up, but i'll deal with that later.
The body as it is at the moment with all pieces dry fitted.
