Well I tried this out and it works
got fed up with putty and sanding
so I used white glue ( woodwork glue or Krystal klear)
put it over the seam , get a damp cloth wipe off the excess
leave it to dry then paint
I did this on the mig round the wings and the canopy it works

so you are saying that white glue, is this like Elmer's Glue-All? will do the same job as the filler putties? And is the Krystal Klear the same as Future? The reason I am asking such a silly question is that soon I will be building A/C, never have B4, but, I know what filling a seam is like and I know that in A/C it is very, very, important to do it right! I kinda understand the White Glue but do not understand the KK.  . IF u read this post again, would u spend just one minute and set me straight?!
Thankyou,
Bill

Yep white glue as filler
I did it on the Mig where the wings join up against the fuselage
also where the canopy joins the fuselage
there is a trick with putty and nail varnish , but i've never tried that one
maybe Rob might know about that one

You can also thin it with water. Takes longer to cure but it is good for very thin seams since you can actually paint it on with a fine brush. I use that technique a lot around the edges of windscreens since they seldom fit exactly and it won't fog the clear windscreen. A little paint over the glue and they match right up. Never thought about it until now but you could probably add acrylic paint to the glue and skip the painting step.

That`s one I`m going to try out. At the moment I mix my own filler using talcum powder and Klear (Future). I find that it dries quickly and is very easy to sand down. If it`s mixed thinly enough, it can also be applied with a brush.
