That method looks okay except that I would tilt the LE and the fairing to blend with the airfoil.
Yes, the fairing is part of the wing area. My wing with the fairing attached was 12 x 2.5".

Subject: [Indoor_Construction] Fairing Cond Paper on A6 wing (was building A6 prob)
As Mark stated, is not against the rules, but I belive
the extra area of the fairing cover has to be considered
as part of the wing area.
I was thinking about this, and there is a way to turn
th 1/16 sq LE into a rounded one...
Place a round (dia 1/16") form in front of LE, all along it.
Do not glue, just hold in place, now cover as usual with
condenser paper (or your favorite cover), and when you
reach the LE, atach the CD on the botom, so the CD takes
the shape of the round form. Finally, slip the round form to
a side.
Here is an image if what I mean:

my first and only try. Probably there is a way to do it better.

disrupt the airflow over top of the wing?
