Any tips on how to do this for the Revell/Monogram 1/72 scale kit?

as an example http://www-pao.ksc.nasa.gov/kscpao/images/medium/2013-2258-m.jpg

Styrene strip or Milliput, I'd say. There's a good thread on the 1/144 stack over here (the shaping of the insta-foam is post #6) which may be of some help.

I fully agree with Milliput, it is adhesive to most materials, tough and durable, and self hardening.

Epoxy putty will work too. Smooth it with a wet finger or mini-spatula.
