What other parts were secured with countersunk screws? Do you know?

For sure the fairing of the fuselage-horizontal stabilizer transition ...

BTW ... if we talk about such details .... the nose cone was made of a plywood / veneer. Generally of the wood.

And one more pic showing the assembling process of the Fw 200 ... you may notice the not finished the fairing of the fuselage-wing transition. Also the front parts of the engin nacelles with the engine attached. Notice the lack of their top rear parts at the wing top.

I don't quite understand what kind of screw there is. Phillips screwdriver?

Was there a fairing on the engine housing?

I would like to see a photo from the same angle. If you have it

OK. I have thought you meant that. Unfortunately I didn't see a pic showing the part with the angle you wanted. But If you have a look at the enlarged ones you should get the idea on how the fairing looked like. Actually the fairing both for the inner and the outer engine nacelles, was a part of the central wing leading edge. However these were of a slightly different size due to the wing dimensions at the areas. But always were covering the gap between the front round engine nacelle section and the wing leading edge. The parts crossfaded into the nacelle side at the bottom and the top rear fairing on the wing tops giving the smooth transition.
