| The finished fillet (well almost) fits satisfactory. There's nothing holding it there but gravity. |

| Very informative reference. Thanks. |

| Yes, I do believe I will try this instead of the cereal box method that never seems to work for me. |

| Thanks. Coming from both of you (just took a gander at your hangers) I take it as a great compliment. SteveM, examined your 109 build, as well as others, is it common practice to cover up over a bit the vac-form cowl (I never did in the past)? It does clean things up quite a bit. My 109 kit is old (35 yrs) with styrene parts, will dope affect it. I've noticed that CA causes styrene to become brittle and crack easily. |

| pfinn...Timing is everything. The fillet on Klaus I drove me nuts. This should make the fillet for Klaus II tolerable..."Tanks!" |

| I probably saw someone else here on the VA extend the covering over the cowl and decided to try it. It still leaves a ridge rather than a smooth transitions so I'll be looking for better ways to make the cowl joint in future builds (flying and display). |

| Thanks Steve. I've got something in mind. I'll doc it and post it if it turns out. |
