For minor body seams (where I might join two plastic parts together) and even for dealing with even fairly nasty mold parting lines (especially where there is mold misalignment--pretty common in older model kit tooling) I have used "gap filling" or "medium viscosity" CA glue for the past 25 years or so (since about the time Zap A Gap and Goldberg SuperJet (my preferred brand!). I use Bob Smith Industries CA Accelerator (most hobby shops having a decent RC plane department stock it, or it's available online at Tower Hobbies) due to the simple fact that it's liquid, but absolutely does not disturb painted surfaces nor does it attack bare styrene. Within a minute or so, I can work the CA filler down with needle files, and if I need to use a bit more, any low spots will show up as shiny spots--just add a bit more CA, spritz with accelerator, wait a minute or two, and repeat with files and sandpaper--easier and quicker than any putty--plus it absolutely will not shrink.

For really large areas though, a good grade of putty gets the call on my bench, even though it slows down a build, due to needing to dry thoroughly.
