I assume that the cowling supports the engine against the bulkhead so we wont be able to fix the engine on and certainly wont glue the cowling as the engine is one of the best bits and needs to be seen.

I need to move onto other more worthwhile projects with parts that fit.
Now you have a point regarding the heavy rotary engine,it just appears to hang in mid air with no support at the rear,what it needs is a small circlip aft,not even sure how the front cowl or the upper shroud are attached ? one answer is to display the engine complete with prop on a separate engine stand,one or two modellers have already made up stands and it has to be said the engine is a display item on its own and looks good.
Today I dug out my 1=8th scale Clerget rotary engine,this was made many years ago by Hasegawa for their Sopwith Camel,the detail even goes down to wire-locked spark plugs,a scratch built Camel is in the back of my mind
