Try West Systems fillers. These are powders you mix into epoxy, like microballons. They have a big range of fillers, from super-tough structural fillers with lots of fiber in them to a fairing filler which is nice and light while still being very tough.
You can get them at Marine-supply stores, and read about them at westsystem.com

Subject: [RCSE] What happened to bondo?
I'm doing a wing fairing on a scale ship, and I just did a small batch of
short fiber Bondo - wow, does that stink.
I hadn't used this since my old Torino (back in the 70-80s), and it used to
be pink and fairly tame; at least that's what I remember. Now it's green,
and my shop (the whole house) reeks. I think I passed out at some point,
and I only mixed an apple sauce package worth.
I think I'm committed now, but is there a better way? Epoxy and carbosil?
I got the bondo tip from a pretty good scale ship guy, but he must have a
better ventilation system than I do.
I think I'm off to watch The Wall and listen to the Wizard of Oz...
