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.

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

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.

Do you have a photograph showing the stretching of the fabric onto the tail? Like on wings.

The fin of the vertical tail was of the metal skin but there was a quite narrow vertical panels on both sides that were covered with the fabric patches. The rudder was of the metal "skeleton" like the aileron and was covered with the fabric quit tight. The trim tabs on the rudder had the metal covering.

the horizontal tail consited of the metal stabilizer skinned with the metal plates while the elevatrors were of the metal "skeleton" covered tight with the fabric. The trim tabs of the metal skin.

Do you have photographs confirming the location of the joints of the metal sheets in the places I have highlighted?
 
What the places you have highlighted and where? I can't see such ones.

Do you have any pictures of the underside of the tail? I need photos of the horizontal stabilizers from below. I want to know the connection diagram of metal sheets.
