F-51D 1/72 Italeri

Unfortunately this kit came without a canopy and I've been unable to find one that fits it. I'll keep an eye out to properly finish it later. Any recommendations?

The P-51 was redesignated the F-51 after the USAF became a separate branch of the military in 1947. The model in this photo is a Mustang operated by the Royal New Zealand Airforce (RNZAF) in Korea during the Korean War. The Mustang was exported to many nations during and after the second world war and continued to see service for decades after.

Korean War F-51s. Yes that’s right, by the Korean war in the 50′s there was a later F-51.
