Thank you.
Hi Dave,
I converted the cowl and canopy to .step format, you can find them here:

The cowl is approx. 5mm longer than needed in the nose area so it can be either cut straight for the contra unit or with 2-3 degrees right thrust. You can also use different spinner sizes (83-89mm). The cowl and fuselage balsa structure are overlapping on a distance of 15mm.
The canopy is approx. 5mm larger where it meets the fuselage to compensate for any errors during the assembly of the fuselage balsa structure. It needs some trimming to fit the fuselage perfectly before the canopy frame is attached.
