F.W.Woolworth's used to sell a set of small alloy saucepans,these make ideal cowlings for your models,should you not be able to obtain the alloy ones now ( as I understand that health and safety have stepped in ) then search your local car boot sales for them,you will find dozens of these redundant items for a few pence each.
Mark the centre and scribe in the circle where the intake goes,and take a pair of metal dividers and score in the rim,next run a line of chain drills around the line push out and clean up with a file.
I know that you can buy some cowls to fit the Flair range but this way you can do different sizes and above all they cost next to nothing.
( See a previous tip on fixing cowls to balsa fuselages )
