And if you put monokote over the fuse, you can put monokote over the fillits. Use modeling clay rolled up along the edge and with a trim iron you can lay monokote down without it pulling up on the edges.
Louis Rankin showed me how to do it. Works nice and you can't even see the seam.

I think I have posted a few photos of Louis's planes here some place.

Yes, that how I build most of my stunters.

If the fuse it painted, just mask off about 1/2 on the monokote and take a scuff pad and get the shine off the kote, then paint the fillits.

Here is a not so good photo of monokote fillits. ;)
