The lugs were lined up with a ruler and double checked with a 3/16" rod.
The kit supplied 1/8" diameter lugs were swapped out with 3/16" lugs.
I felt the model was too large for the 1/8" lugs.
Looking at the Mercury Redstone on display at KSC, you can see the rounded fairings on the lower 2/3rds of the root edge area.
You can build this up (to an extent) with a few more fillet layers of Titebond M&TG.
While it won't give you as wide fairing it will build the area up some.
