There are a variety of filling techniques you can use. Some modelers really like 3M acryl blue, which I feel is the best of the laquer based putties. My personal preference is for catalyzed body putty, which is a two part mixture that fires off very quickly and can be sanded in minutes. As a bonus, when cured it is much stronger than laquer putties, so it holds edges better. I created a small web page on how to use this product, which is available through automotive paint stores - one popular brand is Evercoat, but there are others.
