Sometimes it better to fill and then sand to maintain perspective on how the vehicle looks. If the car has no rust, it makes sense since the panels have good sealeant under the paint and you might want to keep it to reduce work. The second reason to do it this way is to minimize block sanding and warpage which it looks you have very little on the car.
What you might want to do before you start assembly is to color sand the car and then a full polish. You will get an unbeliable result when you do this. On Stealth, I tinted the primer and added one coat of clear to get a feel of what the car will look like with the proposed color. I can then assemble all of the custom stuff, verify fit and operation then block sand and paint when it is convenient. I know this is alot of double work but at least I get to drive the car sooner while taking care of little bugs here and there.
Good luck and keep on Opeling.
