Mr. Surfacer 1000 works pretty well for me. It smells like nail polish, and I'm not entirely sure if it's anything but glorified nail polish, but it wet-sands nice and smooth.

And now for the simple question that has been keeping me awake... I'm not too worried about mounting the top planes of the Nieuports, I chose those models as they have few attachment points for the cabanes and struts. But next up I would like to try the Roden Bristol fighter. Double bays, all those struts, I can already imagine the mess I could make of these. Is there anywheer at the Aerodrome, or anywhere else, that gives advice on this tricky operation?

Jigs do the trick.
Lance Krieg has a wing alignment jig illustrated at the link below, with plans:
Modeling Tools and Procedures
There is also a very clever idea I've heard in here of using Legos attached to a Lego base to hold the model in place while aligning the wing, but I just built the jig above, which works beautifully.
