Buddy- I don't know if it'll help in your case, but Flyhawk has released PE canopy frames among other parts on the fret for IJN aircraft. I can't speak to availability for other navies, so.... but these are a dream !! Just file or snip off the canopy.
I then used clear parts cement to fill in the frames with "glass". Check around. Like anything else, if it's available ? You'll find it on e*bay....
I am about to use a Flyhawk set on my 1:700 E13A1 Jakes that'll go aboard IJN HAYASUI.
HTH there ol' Moe ol' kiddo kid !! 🚬😎

BOY, Who came up with the idea of making clear plastic planes??
And How do you paint them?? I getting ready to prime them, But, if I remember, I heard that you would paint them an interior color firs ( the whole plane? ) then paint the base color of the plane.
OH, I deal with 1/700 planes.
Thanks for your time.
