Body work on a foam plane.

I'm new to the board and I'm sure there is a thread on this. Can you direct me to it if I've again posted in the wrong place?

As a new flyer training himself (with the help of this board, a sim and Mr. Carpenters book).

My trainer is a 55" powered 'Sky Sufer', I've beaten the nose so for under that we all call it the eagle.

The point is with this plane I learned to fly. I have a romantic attachment to it I want to make it look again.

Its not really in the Giant class , but for your answer , you can simply take the following actions
1)buy foam , carve what you need from any Hardware store and add pieces as needed .
2)you can try light weight filler, add , allow to dry , sand and paint
3)you can try light weight balsa , carve the bumpy parts out , add the balsa , sand to shape , cover with light weight film and paint ,
its all about what your comfortable with and your ability to sand and carve

I've had good luck using drywall spackle like automotive bondo as body filler...

The naked airframe "kit" version of the Sky Surfer/Bixler is available from Hobby King for around $32: Instant spare parts!
