The ends of the fairing tunnels are rounded and tapered.
The silhouette of the tunnel end isn't perfectly round, but more like the top of an egg or short elliptical shape.
Start by rounding and tapering the sides checking the shape from the flat back of the half round tunnel.
Then taper the top.
Turn the half round over and sand the end with the flat side up.
Switch to a finer grit sandpaper and smooth out any hard edges or corners.
You'll need two long fairings for the lower body and adapter. I made four for extras. You'll also need on more fairing, 2 1/2" long rounded on both ends for the upper BT-52 tube.
I made the lower fairings long to be cut to size later on.
The two on the left show the rounded upper side.
On the right is the flat underside for gluing against the body tube.
