unfortunately my mk3 escort estate i was making is now being a pick up because using a cab the back is a little raised so the rear windows would be higher than the front this was only minor but i like my cars to look like the real thing so ive now just brought another bronze mk3 so i can make an estate out of that 1, that wont be started just yet as ive got my 1700T to finish and this pick up.

I think the problem you guys have with the milliput and filler, is that you might being putting it on to thick.
Milliput is best left for 12 hours or so to harden..then it should be dead easy to sand with a 120 then a 240 wet an dry..Then gradually go down a grade to get a smooth finish..
You really should not need a dremel to shape filler on a 1/18TH scale car
