Just working on the sides of the fuselage to make it good flat surface for the wing to match on to. This will take some time and fitting of small parts to match the wing profile.

Made 2 new wing root ribs 1/8 thick this will be glued to the wing root this will give the ability sand the root rib a little to match the fuselage. The root rib on the wing is 1/8 aircraft ply.

Not a good day for me, I thought of how I would do the transition from the fuselage to the wing but it did not workout. So removed everything cleaned it up and will try some other method tomorrow, it happens.
One thing I am running out of is 3/32-3-36 long good balsa wood, any good suggestions, please.

Would Luan sheathing work? It is extremely light. maybe sandwich pieces until desired thickness is obtained?

Looking at the photo, looks like you need about 1" of filler, why not use a balsa block? I would get it close then use epoxy and microballoons to fll the small gaps and make a perfect fit
