The original fairings were called "Body Ribs". I don't know why they were part of the design, maybe to keep the nose cone on at ejection. The nose cone shoulder was short!
The fairings have a taper at the front.
The pictures show the before and after.
Draw a pencil line at the start (high side) of the taper, try not to sand off the line as is it shaped with a sanding block.
Set the fairings side by side and adjust the end thicknesses.
I went ahead and filled and primed the fairings.
It's be hard to fill after the fins are glued on.
