Thanks
I'd just glue up the cracks with some thin CA and move on. It would be hard to tell once the canopy is on and there's a pilot in there. You might be able to get a cockpit kit from Dynamic Balsa. It won't be cheap and will be a lot of work to finish and install. Use the one piece canopy. On my first one I lost two of the sliding canopies in flight and gave up on that. Cool idea but poor engineering on those things. I took a piece of the blue (gear door or something) to home depot and they color matched the paint pretty close, not perfect but close. It would be OK for touch up.
