How would I build up the bit missing part as there's about 3 inches missing. Would it be a case of putting tape on the inside of the panel , shape it and build up layers?
Your help is really appreciated
You'll be best if you can take a mould off of someone else's panel, I would let you use mine but seems silly you coming all this way. Maybe post another thread asking if anyone will give you a hand? I think DM is near you

Put the tape on the outside off the panel and fill into it. It would be easier if you could take a mould from an undamaged fairing though. Tape on the outside means you don't have to sand back on what will be the face side of the panel

Ade, I have a couple of plastex kits so should have enough moulding putty to make a mould. I think I've only got a fiberglass nc30 nosecone but you should be able to get the right shape from it.
