Airfix Supermarine Walrus ejector pin mark help

[Yukimajo]

Hi All

I got the 1/48 Airfix Supermarine Walrus for Christmas and am very excirted to get crackign with it. However, there are some serious ejector pin marks that need dealing with before I can commence. I have attached a photo (nicked from Brit Modellers forum) showing the extent of the issue. Ordinarily I generally ignore them because they will be invisible when the fuselage is put together. These, however, are going to be visible and I am not sure of how to go about getting rid of them, while preserving the rest of the detail.

Any tips please?

Fill the ones that are recessed with putty, putting in enough that it comes above the surface because it will shrink as it dries. Once the putty is hard, scrape them down with a curved or chisel-shaped knife blade, which will be able to get between the ribs.
