... Use Tamiya X-21 flat base to fill up those litte chiped holes. The cap is clear on the bottle...

I prefer using super glue for filling small dents and chips: Flat Base has no bonding agent, so it
gets powdery and wears off when it has dried.
Super glue gets hard fast, you can sand it some 15 minutes after applying. Don't put a big blob of super glue on the model though and be aware of blooming (white residue on surrounding parts, especially metal bits).

HTH,
