The restoring EPO Foam Models series describes many of the repairs you can make to bring your EPO foam RC model back to life.
Part three describes using light weight filler or foam putty to reshape and smooth out worn or dented surfaces on your model. It also shows how to mount LEDs in wingtips, beacons and for landing lights.

So agree with the great series comment thanks for sharing. So where did you get this cool little LED kit? was it expensive?

Yes, Hobby King. Turnigy R/C LED Lighting System. Just under $8 USD. I've seen these and similar little boxed sets at other places too.

Would it just be easier to replace the cowl with A fiberglass cowl?

Video game flyer Part of the fun in this hobby is working with your hands. A little time, a little sandpaper, putty and paint is way cheaper than the cost of a new cowl plus shipping [not to mention you might ding it up again].

You could also add reinforcement i.e Killerplanes, milk carton plastic at this point for strength.

+Bob Barker I've had pretty good luck with the foam putty and other light spackle products. I usually put it on pretty thin and let it dry completely. Then add another layer and so on. In cases where I was filling a larger ding, I've placed some tooth picks across the span for something for the putty to hang on to. Kind of like chicken wire under stucco. I usually let the stuff dry at least overnight. When dry it's really hard and takes a bit of sanding with a fine grain sand paper to get it smooth. A lot of times I'll use a credit card-like plastic piece to use like a squeegee to match the surface as close as I can to avoid some of the sanding. I've not had any issues with it coming off if it was completely dry.

There is absolutely no way of keeping a smooth surface on epo foam, even epoxy coating with glass and getting it perfect in the workshop once its taken out on a hot sunny day the foam cells expand and ghost through the glass. My advise, dont waste your time!!

The goal was never to have and maintain a perfectly smooth surface. Rather, it was to smooth out dents and depressions from minor crashes to big oops. Foam is what it is but there is no need to have your model look like an old beater -- unless you like that look. If so, then go for it!
