You can also use plastic melted in liquid glue consistency is up to you the more plastic you add the thicker it becomes . Acrylic nail filler can also be used for a strong bond in gaps .

I recommend the Tamiya putty.It's lacquer based,dries smooth and sands well.I won't completely dismiss Testor's putty,though.It's surprisingly good for use on resin bodies.I used it to fill voids on some 1/43rd resin builds years ago and the filled areas have never shrunk or popped loose.

Depends on how minor.

I use CA glue to fill small cracks and ejector pin marks. Hit the CA with accelerator and you can sand in a few minutes. For very light joints, I use Mr Surfacer 500, which is just a thick primer.

Gap-filling CA with accelerator for gaps that need extra strength reinforcement. Bondo professional (2-part) glazing and spot putty for sink marks and contouring.Sometimes I'll "weld" thin styrene strip into wide gaps using Tenax. It all depends on the application.
