it all depends on how bad the seam is.

sometimes it will have to have a full putty/sand/re-scribe

but usually there isnt that a bad one, only a line. in which case there are two ways you can do it.

1: White/PVA glue. just brush it over the seam, let it dry and check that its leveld the seam out by spraying some primer over it. it dries very thin and transparent so it wont efect any other detail. you may have to re-scribe some lines it has gone into though.

2: Thinned putty. you need to thin your putty with a relevent solvent (i use squadron green putty with celulous thinners), brush it on. wait for it to dry, then get a cotton wool bud with a bit of the cleulous thinners on and go over the area. it will remove all the un-wanted putty but leave a nice smooth seam. (carefull not to use too much thinners as this is strong stuff and can easily melt the plastic!)

hope that helps
