Most of the cockpit area get covered by the various printed parts, and then the vacuum formed cockpit. So you can have some gaps/voids without much issue. One way I like to fill holes is to mix gorilla glue, a very tiny amount of water, and some microballoons. The water makes the glue start to expand and ends up similar to "Great Stuff". Let the glue expand, and then cut/shape after it fully dries.

I almost forgot, I added a total of 8 Nerf whistles to my A-10. There are 4 in the engine nacelles and 1 each in the M-84 bombs and 1 each in the AGM-65 missiles.
The whistles in the ordinance should work trough the entire flight envelope( I hope).
Later!!

Hi Guys,
I have also received my A-10 and the build will begin in the next week,
I think this is already writen here in this fred, but can anyone tell me what size rivets in mm on the fuselage you use and with what tool you apply this on the fuse?
The rivets on the back i will take wood glue.
Thanks a lot
Regards Rob

Some guys use a rounded point to create a divet in the foam. I used a .093 dia aluminum tube, I sanded the end smooth and pressed and twisted it into the foam surface. You have to be careful not to penetrate into the foam. The .093 is just what I had on hand. If I were to do it again I would use .063 dia. Tubing.
Here is a pic of how mine turned out.
Hope this helps!!
Anthony
