The forward fairing had to be redone after the small problems I had during canopy fitting last week.
After some sanding,a new layer of epoxy was applied.

I first sand a bit more aof the rear of the canopy. Then I sand all the edges from the canopy and the window.
I file away a small amount of skin in the front as it always snaps with the fuselage skin. The gap will be larger but I will work on this after final assembly.

I still had to tweak the gap between the rear of the canopy and front of the window. As the weather was still fine and evrything looked ready I did it today. The canopy is not that easy to install once the wings are mated.
I sand of the gap needed, but fine sanding will take place next time.
I will also have to find a solution to the canopy skin catching the forward fuslage skin.

Still some sanding on the canopy fairing. The result looks quite good, the upper lip is neat just under the red adhesive.

After some sanding, I removed the masking tape. The upper part of the fairing looks quite good except a few bad spots.
So I put on new masking tape and did the filling.
