I pretty much use Tamiya modelling putty for things like that. But i thin it with Acetone and a brush and just brush over that to form it, with a bit of patience sanding the end product would be minimal.

I found Mr. Hobby's putty is more sturdy and more plasticky compares to Tamiya's new white putty.

i use Mr Hobby putty to build up and Tamiya's putty to finish.
