Replacement Canopy for a P-51D

Does anyone have an idea where I might find a replacement canopy for the Corgi 1/32 scale P-51DAA34403 P-51D-20NA Mustang 'Big Beautiful Doll'? The one I have has been crazed by the intense Colorado sunlight. I wrote off to Corgi USA and received a windshield piece only. They said they were out of stock on the canopy and suggested I contact my vendor. Since I did not expect the vendor to have any spare parts, I purchased another AA34403 model on ebay at a significantly reduced price. So, I have a good one on display, but I would like to restore the model with the fouled canopy...just need some thoughts on where to get one. Thanks for all the help.
Cheers,
Mike

Panther, have tried the old "Future floorwax" treatment for that crazed canopy yet?
