I thinned each a little and filled the fuselage out to meet them. Mine was
the same as yours, but a classic.

Subject: Europa-List: Filling around the cowl area
<paul.mcallister@qia.net>
Hi all,
I was wondering what other have done with respect to filling the transition
between the cowl and the fuselage. In particular the joggle makes the cowl
sit high in this area by 3 mm. This would require a lot of filler to be put
on the fuselage. I am thinking of recessing the fuselage instead. I
suspect that I will have to take out quite a bit of material and to be
prepared to have to reinforce it with cloth.
Another approach would be to remove the joggle in on the bottom cowl so I
don't have a double thickness of material, however this would leave the
bottom cowl unsupported in the corner which would be undesirable.
I'd be interested to know what others have done.
Regards, Paul
