Hey Andrew
For resin kits, I use Zap-A-Gap superglue for filler then hit it with some accelerator...when I do this, I find the hardness of the superglue and resin to be about the same so it sands evenly and smoothly. The only caution is if you don't sand it immediately, the superglue tends to get harder over time so if you don't sand it within a few hours, the resin (being a little softer in hardness) will sand away faster than the superglue...
for pinholes in resin parts,you can use a non-gel toothpaste or vinyl spackle. They dry fast,take all paints and primers,and are easy to redo or add to.
