Europa-List: Filling around the cowl area

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
