The build has gone great, but the cabin top has given my some problems. I spent a lot of time getting it to fit and now that finally got it to slide into place I have a gap problem - see pics. I assume I can add resin with some filler to fill in gap and re-sand to fit, but my concern is that I have a tight fit already and I think is has somewhat do with head of universal rivets in door opening of fuselage, but then again I see other builders with a better fit. Any suggestions on how to proceed?

After we tighten all t he screws we make sure to remove any excess before it cures. A tight and cle an trim is the best way to achieve a good fit, but the flox helps in areas t hat don't fit as well.
