This takes me back to the cowl and the firewall.
I added Superfil on the top as there was a bit of a step between the firewall and the top of the fuselage.
After a little more sanding, I sprayed some primer to get an idea of how things looked.
More sanding and priming. Here is the final version, sort of. I still have some areas to fill in - mostly dings or errant filing marks.
The step on the firewall is where the top of the cowl will rest. (maybe the firewall needs to be reduced in thickness???)
And the approximate fit of the cowl.
I need to work on replacing the flaps with new cut pieces from the CF layup. Also need to join them together. After that, I think I'll work on the exhaust and cutouts in the cowl for those exit points. Adding panel lines to the fuselage will provide an escape from the cowl work.
