Cracked canopy on Preddy P-51

After months of trying I got a good deal on Ebay for a MIB GMP Preddy P-51. It arrived today and I was a very happy camper - until I opened the box and found that the canopy was cracked. I've sent an "emergency" email to GMP asking for help and an email to the seller. I really don't want to give it up, but I don't really want it with the crack. If GMP cannot help, does anyone have any ideas how to fix or get a replacement?

Otherwise it will need to go back.

Which is "off-scale" for an aircraft, so finding a kit replacement will be very difficult.. Hopefully, GMP can come thru for you with a new canopy..
